I was in a motel the other night, and morning was coming on. It was rainy and thunder was rumbling through the area. All at once there was one of the loudest cracks of thunder I've ever heard, like the lightning must have been within 100 feet.
I looked outside and was astonished to see an empty parking space next to my car. When I went to bed there was a truck there. But with that sudden lightning and enormous thunder, it was gone! That is powerful. My own car was undamaged, which is also remarkable.
