Tonight amidst lots of lightening and thunder from an approaching storm, this monster strike happened a few hundred yards away...note the camera shake when it happens....that was me jumping.
Typhoon Nira is moving across Thailand, and just brushed Pattaya with lightening, horrific thunder and rising winds...it rained for about 20 minutes and then passed (we hope)
Here is the lightening strike. Notice how soon after the strike you hear the thunder!
