It got to be nice and sunny today, so I took advantage of that and let the dogs out for a little walk. Cue, two hours later. Raining like a bitch. That's not even the worst of it. Suddenly, my old CRT monitor flashes bright white, and I backed away from the computer. I had half a second of noticing that; 1. The flash happened outside too, and 2. None of the electronics had actually turned off, before the most ungodly loud and intense thunder rolled in. It lasted a good seven seconds, three of which physically shook the window next to me. That was freaky, especially because I think I can see smoke out the window somewhere.
