 Yes, this was REALLY close. It was a big ball of lightning that hit a tranformer the next street over and caused a fire and a power outage. As you can see it had many bolts branching off it as well. I was on my front porch trying to get lightning shots, which is the overhang you see at the top. I sent this to my local news station and they showed it with their weather report (Channel 10 Philadelphia).

Zapboom. It's just that quick too, when it's this close. You can hear a snap then the thunderclap. Glad you were not on the receiving end of that bolt. Congrats on the weather report hit.

Uhm, what the hell is the story with this one?

It looks like a lightning strike about 20 feet from you!

YIKES! Please include photographers notes! Thank you!
