That was possibly the loudest single clap of thunder I have ever heard. Anyone else get to experience it?

You mean last night?
We heard it at our house. It was funny because I JUST got done saying to Walker, I love rain like this, so nice and quiet! Then BAM!!! Scared Desi silly!Posted 2 years ago # -
No - I mean 10 minutes ago.
I was walking up West 1st Ave. and heard a single HUGE crack of thunder.
Am I alone in experiencing this amazingly loud expression of nature? ;)

Here in Grandview, it flashed so brightly on the wall I'm facing (away from the window) that I thought a light bulb had burst!

Scared the dickens out of me, too.
But then I saw the Bakery Gingham store that will soon be opening, and I just figured that was Zeus giving someone a high five in the clouds...

I totally jumped out of my skin and came upon a couple of people walking a minute later who were still freaking out about it.
Slash that cloud was super dark and the temperature dropped 5-10 degrees in a matter of minutes.

We were at the Aldi on Mound Street and heard it from there, and it was a loud rumble there, so I can only imagine how loud it was in the Short North.

That was insane. I walked out of my shop to see what was going on and called my wife in Westgate to see if she could hear it over there. She could not.

My brother saw the flash and wondered what it was.. It really scared my cats and they both jumped about 2 feet in the air..

Holy crap, that was loud.
The weird thing is, no lightning or thunder before or after. Just BLAM!

Some serious lightning came with it. I don't think I have ever heard lightning that loud...or if I did it was in the context of a serious storm. This just came out of nowhere.

Well, I don't think you have ever heard lightening! :)

I heard it from Starbucks on 3rd Street in German Village. My dog jumped.

I swear, in 99% of movies and TV, the lightning flash and thunder roll happen at exactly the same time.

A jogger dude laughed at me because heard me scream and about jump out of my car :( Then I started laughing, but I'm glad I tinkled before I left the house or I would have been in trouble!!
