  • My grandparents were asleep when lightning struck a tree perhaps 10 feet< away just on the other side of the wall their headboard was against. I recall that there was a window next to their bed. My grandfather said he thought the house was exploding because of the way everything was illuminated. I was asleep about 20 feet away across the hall. It still feels like the loudest noise I could ever have imagined. I didn’t have a window looking directly at it but the entire house was lit up. Quite the ”shock” being awoken from a deep sleep with the combination of lightning & thunder. I remember how much it smelled like ozone as well.
