Wow, we had some thunder too after my birthday. It's been a long time since we've had a thunderstorm in California ever since, what...2006? It's kind of sad but true. I remember we did have some really really really LOUD thunderclaps near my home. My dog absolutely HATES thunder, so I had to stay up ALLLLLL night and comfort him. But I didn't mind, the thunder was just so dang loud. I mean it sounded like someone was dropping atom bombs behind our house!
You know, my grandmother has seen those rare formations of thunder called sprites. She's so lucky! They're really rare to see them.
She said that they were blue-white, and just started flashing across the sky in rows and that thunder didn't sound the same. I showed her a video of the sprites online and she said that was what she saw. How cool is that?
