Observer
Name Alice G
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was laying in bed but able to see out to the backyard and saw a super bright light that I thought was lightning as I knew storms were to the NW of me. Kept waiting for the thunder and it took some time but don’t know how long; and when it hit, it was loud and shook the house
