Many years ago i was in Africa were i was having a picnic with my parents when our hair started to stand on end! ran to the car and sure enough a tree nearby was stuck which was pretty damn cool. Then that night whatever direction you looked there was constant flashes and rumbles in the distance. But that’s just a normal evening there!
On another holiday i was at the Kennedy space centre in Florida were a storm rolled over while we was inside and the rain and hail was so intense the car park flooded and damaged our rental car lol
I also remeber alot of nightime storms in the uk when i was younger, they would last for hours and the way i knew they was coming was the satalite signal would stop half an hour before!
