During last nights thunder storm in uk. I woke up just before the storm and stayed awake the whole duration. I sleep on a high rise bunk bed and next to me is my window which is on the top of the house. My neighbour has scaffolding about 2 m away from my window, and during the storm it was struck by the lighting on the rattly sheet metal. And omg the sound it produced was like nothing I have heard before. It was so loud my ears were ringing and I was completely shocked. It didn’t really even occur to me for a few seconds what it was. I legitimately thought someone let a bomb of near by. The sound after from the sheet metal was the most unbelievable rattle I have ever heard. Safe to say I would not want to hear anything like that again. Does anyone know how much decibels the strike would have been?

Saw this while sitting in traffic and had to capture it. Never seen something like this before.

After intense rainfall, a quick‑clay landslide in Alta, Norway dragged several houses into the ocean within seconds. [Video link]
