Yes, i think that was the loudest and closest thunder I have ever heard. It woke up those who were sleeping, shook houses, and brought me up out of my chair like a cartoon character.
There were two bursts, a half hour apart. One person suggested a strike in the east side of Shoreline.

She commented "Two trees were hit by the second of two lightning strikes that occured Wednesday night in a neighborhood of Lake Forest Park."Both strikes were noted by neighbors as being quite terrifying as the thunder reverberated immediately after the strikes throughout the neighborhood."
Several former midwesterners commented on how many thunderstorms they experienced in their previous homes and how everyone was used to it.
However, we live under huge trees. There's nothing on the prairie to fall on you!

Thank you very much for posting this!!!
A huge tree next-door to us was hit near Acacia Memorial Park, it was terrifying! Very nervous about the stability of the tree now, and hoping an arborist can check it out soon.
Nothing quite like a tree falling on your house. It sounds like a plane hitting your roof.
