A sound of thunder

[siderea]

It's about 5:15pm and I'm in Porter Square. There was what just sounded like two cracks of thunder (about five minutes apart) -- out of a clear blue sky.

Did anybody actually in Davis Square at the moment also hear these?

Update: Found the storm. It's directly over the building I'm in and the back parking lot. Out the front windows, it's beautiful and sunny. Out the back, it looks like incipient Armageddon. It's like we have our very own thundercloud teathered to the roof.

One of the lightning strikes hit the building across the street from me (Orchard St) as I was sitting by the window. A bright blue flash hit just as a crack of thunder rang out. Firetrucks arrived about five minutes later but couldn't find anything ablaze.

Where on Orchard?

I recall that a few years ago, lightning hit the apartment building at the northeast corner of Orchard and Day.

Corner of Orchard and Milton. Lightning hit the condos across the street -- the tower, I believe.
