What a storm

A thunderstorm passed over yesterday and boy did it make a noise. As with most thunderstorms there was a lot of thunder and lightning but this one the thunder and lightning built up so much that it was almost continuous. I was watching from the back door to the house. The climax was an almighty strike that forked both east and west and issued a crack of thunder that literally made me jump backwards. about 6 feet.
I have now learnt it hit a house around the corner, it blew a hole through one side of the roof and out of the other. Every single electric socket had disintegrated, even the surge protection device had disintegrated. I have this on word from the firecrew who attended!
Wow
