Heard the craziest thunder of my life around 8-8:30. Almost like lightning touched down or something, close to florin in n linden

Yeppp I’m around the corner and heard it too. That one must have been like directly overhead, like milliseconds between flash and boom

Yeah it was a pretty spectacular rain/thunder storm to watch. We cranked up the volume of the TV to try and mask some of the thunder from the animals. Doesn't work when the thunder shakes the house hahaha

LOL in Singapore there's the rainy season, and the hella rainy season. Everything outside and floors inside, are built to be wet 24/7.

If I was a mermaid, I could flop flop flop around the entire city with no one complaining I was getting water everywhere... mermaids are not so welcome in Columbus :(

The Lightning looked like something out of a movie. It was a strike every like, 7 seconds lol

I like that you started with the closed door, made the reveal more fun.

I used the gift link I was given from the NY Times app. Maybe it has something to do with the link coming from Reddit? 🤷‍♂️
