I just seen lightning, about 20-30miles away! to my North 

This happened 6 years ago this month. Just around a mile from my home. You heard a humungous bang and a fireball. I don’t no how they escaped. Crazy experience

100% a positive strike, unmistakable sound that.

I think I have heard 4 or 5 sounds like that. Just like a tornado destructing everything. It’s crazy

Hoping we can get lucky again. I've seen plenty of lightning but no direct hit from precipitation cores as of yet. Here's hoping!

It it’s crazy here in Fenton. It’s been thundering and lightning for an hour and a half.

It sounds like a tornado just tearing the city apart. Never seen anything like this with so many direct hits. It has struck the mast around 4 or 5 times as you see it going shooting back upwards. It has lightning conductors on however is the highest point in the area.
