Hit here in San Antonio last night. Rain was very heavy and every minute there were around ten lightning flashes for about an hour or so. One bright flash and thundering crash seemed to hit our back yard as I watched out the window and the power was lost and then I saw a burst of falling sparks where it seemed it really hit some power pole a couple hundred yards away. Power came back on hours later.
I’m by 1604 and 35. Was slammed last night. I was hanging out in the garage taking video.
Happened to us a couple of years ago - lit up the house like a searchlight when it took out a pole transformer about 50 yards off - cat went around with an Afro for a couple of days.
See my post 53.
I moved to San Antonio in June 2002 and lived in Shavano Park.
