What memories do you have of lightning or thunder during your childhood?

I remember being scared a lot of times by the lightning and thunder. One time however I slept right through he worst one that mom and dad could ever remember. It was so loud and so close that it woke everyone in the house except Lynn and I. We slept in the basement with no windows in the room and thus sounds were usually blanked right out. The next morning we went to survey the damages from the storm. We couldn't find where that one had hit even though it had to have been close to the farm. We did find though a lot of power poles up on the Knight's ranch further up along Blue bench. It had caused a lot of them to fall down and were splintered very badly. I was always kind of sad that I had missed that one even though they were always so scary. I did love to watch the lightning however once it got far enough away.
