If you're close enough (and you really DON'T want to be) you can hear a hisssss just before the strike, as the lightning bolt burns the rain right out of the sky. Skeery.
Anyone who owns their house, and plans to stay there several years, and has invested more than a couple of thousand dollars in computer, home theater, stereo, and other electronic equipment would do well to consider having an electrician (or the G&E company) install whole house surge suppression. It's simply the best protection you can have.
