I love to see thunder storms, but not at close range, though! Sometimes Nature just gets on a warpath, doesn't she?

In 1970 I was attending a Jr College class in a temporary classroom as the college was still being built (Rend Lake, Ill.). It was a typical so. Ill. Spring storm with lots of rain, thunder and lightning, when a very loud lightning bolt hit the ground about 10 ft outside the building I was in for a class. After everybody cleaned up the mass emptying of our colons, we went outside to see what was hit. Just a crater about 8 ft in diameter and a foot deep. But it made enough noise to have been an asteroid strike like in Arizona, or one of the Air Force bunker buster bombs. After that, everyone was leery of attending class in the metal temp buildings during a thunderstorm and some threatened to stop attending classes until the permanent buildings were ready to occupy.
