I swear it sounded and felt like an explosion. Not only that, but the sound and after rumble lasted at least 30 seconds. Did anyone else hear it? Did something actually explode?
Loudest thunder ever in Hampstead

We've had our own series of ass-kickers tonight in GB, maybe 4 or 5 waves from about 4:30 until 9.

I heard one like this about 90 minutes ago. Straight cloud lightning, one brilliant flash directly overhead. No pre-rumble - just an instant, phenomenal CRACK and then echos for a good 20 seconds after.

Perhaps. It was a distant sound. I didn't hear the crack, just the deep percussive boom with a long sustained echo. I have been in plenty of thunderstorms in my life while outside, but I have never heard anything like this. Almost like a big transformer went up, but I didn't think there were any that big nearby.

If it's the one I think it was it hit up near Trenton I was sitting on my porch and seen it, made my ears ring
Ocean city when I was a youngin. Sitting on grandparents 2nd floor condo balcony watching a thunderstorm. Lightning bolt hit a trash can on the beach. Ears ringing, that electricity feeling in the Ir, scarred the ever loving crap out of me !! Surprised did not pee my pants !
Over in Edgewood while at work it was just a little rumbling and a lot of flash and boom. What we got instead was enough rain to make a water park of the parking lot. Mind I was working in Edgewood High, so the building tends to dampen it a bit. At least two got my attention.

It was loud along with the continued rumble for at least 20 seconds (loudly).
The one I'm making reference to was to the northwest of 27 outside of Westminster.

Definitely louder than normal here in Manchester.

It was crazy here in Hampstead. My damn dogs had to sleep in our bed that night because otherwise they just howl and cry and we get no sleep.
