Neighbors house was just hit by lightning * 2
    #22118060 - 08/20/15 06:43 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I was sitting in my house reading shroomery threads when I heard what sounded like static electricity fill the room, then there was a massive explosion that lasted about ten seconds. I went outside to see what was hit, and while standing in the middle of the street there was a second strike. I saw the bolt go over my head. God damn that was close. Anyways, there were car alarms going off and someone was yelling up the street. The crazy thing is the storm had been over for like ten minutes and the sky was blue above.

I ran back inside. After a few minutes I started hearing fire engines. There was also an amazing rainbow.



I guess the fire is out, as the fire trucks have started to leave.

I once had a lightning bolt strike the neighbor's carport (which is literally like 10 feet from the window I spend 90% of my time by). I have never heard anything that loud before or since. It scared the shit out of me. The smell was incredible, too. It was just overpowering.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

It's sooooooo fucking loud when it's close, I had one hit the light post on our street.
They say lightning can strike like 10 miles away from a storm. You gotta be more careful man lol

That's pretty crazy man, pretty interesting about the static before it hit too.

I didn't get static or any kind of warning when the bolt hit my neighbors. It wasn't even stormy out, cloudy, but overall calm. There was just a blast of light and a gigantic boom (like damn near blowing out windows kinda boom). I don't think the neighbors were home at the time, they never came out to see wtf just happened (everyone in the neighborhood did). I went outside to make sure there wasn't a fire or something, but I saw the the whole thing right outside my window.

Was standing around looking for smoke and then thought "Maybe it's not such a great idea to be standing outside after all".

Well shit sounds like a good time to tell this story.

When I was around ten and lived at my parents house. Their house is located on top of a hill in the country. It was in the middle of the night and bad storm was ablaze. Our house got hit by lightning, in fact it was on the side of the wall of the 2nd floor (which is my room), I think it actually hit our garage or the tree by it and traveled through the line connected to the house and the garage light. It was sooo loud, it sounded like an earth quake. I remember being a little kid and jumping down our entire stair set (about 12 stairs) and running into my parent bedroom.

The aftermath left a black ring around one of our outlets... we were lucky nothing caught fire considering its an old farm house thats over a hundred years old.



The second time I was standing in the hall way with my sister in the morning, we were playing some N64 and all the sudden we heard the room light pop and saw a massive flash. It scared the shit out of us, and I still vividly remember to this day (10 years later) what it felt like.

I love the thunder, it's my favorite part of storms. When it starts getting loud enough that it is almost guaranteed to startle you, it kinda loses it's appeal, but I still like it.

Ive never had lightning hit close to me. When i was like 12, i was staying at cousins house with my mom. A storm started up in the middle of the day, and a tornado formed directly above the house.

It was loud from the wind, and shit in the yard started flying everywhere. It touched down about half a mile away though, so structurally we were safe. But damn it scared me.

Prius.

It reverberated for ten seconds. Although after the second one, which sounded the same, I could see that the bolt went horizontal to the ground for a long distance so it might just be that it took a while for the sound from furthest parts of the bolt to get to me.

Very nice pics - I love me a rainbow.

Do you know how much damage was caused to your neighbors house? Hopefully his home owners insurance will cover it.
