I saw the lightning flash and heard the subsequent thundercrack and rather extended rumbling. Second such event I've witnessed since moving here, and that really accounts for all the thunder I've heard since August. Thundercracks like this are a pretty regular occurrence in the midwest. It was definitely on par with some of the louder ones I've heard, but it sounded and looked rather textbook to me. It's funny to me how excited it got the Oregonians I know. One of my friends even called me right after it happened, she was so surprised at how loud it was. I was awake at my place when it happened.

It was like no thunder that I've ever heard, though, and the wind and rain afterward was bizarre. Of course, this is Oregon, so wind and rain is pretty eratic anyway. Maybe it's the end of the world??? Well, I just talked to my wife, who works at Valley, and she told me that the Oregonian is reporting it as thunder.

My friend who was kinda far away heard it too. I live in the NY area. It was really freaky. Thunder in january? I don't think so. I heard the same type of thing like two or three days ago.

I wish I had seen the flash... Stupid sleep... Maybe it will happen again tonight! I'll have to stay up and see!
