That happened about the same distance from my house about a month ago. Blew the roots out from the ground of the tree it struck all over the street too. Now that 100 year old tree is shedding leaves like crazy
I guess you didn't qualify?

Be careful out there folks, it's lightning season!
Had a friend who almost got hit.
He and his wife were washing the dishes when he noticed a thunderstorm rolling in. They had left the dog outside, so he ran out into the backyard to get the dog.
As he was running to get the dog he felt the hairs on his arm stand up and felt more than saw a bolt arc over his head and hit about 15ft away. Needless to say he dropped the dish towel he'd been holding and took off like a bat out of hell.
The thing was his wife saw this all happen in a reflection off the microwave. So she goes running outside while he's on the other side of the house.
All she finds is a charred area where the bolt hit and the dropped dish towel. She ended up thinking he'd been vaporized.
what part of FL? I'm in Tampa bay, we've had crazy lightening the past couple weeks.
