I was resting earlier, listening to music through noise-canceling headphones…

and suddenly a clap of thunder came, so loud I almost fell off the couch. It startled me, but I didn’t hear another one.
We rarely get thunderstorms here, but it’s been raining almost all month so far. Now the sun’s shining—for the moment. 🌦️🌫️

It's weird when just one lightning strike / thunderclap seems to be all it takes to put the electrical charge of the local environment back in balance

If it was really loud, did you see the flash? How soon did the sound follow? It seems like it was very close ... I think it would be 1100 feet for every second after the flash

@BlueGreenGrey The funny thing is, I didn’t notice the lightning flash and couldn’t hear the rain with the headphones. But the thunder was a loud [b]BOOM[/b] that made the room shake. I imagine without the headphones it would’ve been even more intense. I waited to see if there were more before I put the headphones back on, but at that point there weren’t.
