Over NE Pennsylvania between 17:30 and 18:00 EDT (Local) there was a flash and
bang of huge proportions Vic. Long Pond, PA

The light was so intense I saw it through my closed eyelids indirectly reflected
off the walls inside walls. 4-5 seconds later "(flash-to-bang) was a huge
rumbling, echoing, and persisting report-- very unlike a normal lightening and
thunder event. Given we were in the midst of an intense rain storm which
otherwise had no thunder and lightening, I held off on making a report .
However in a conversation with a friend who was 25-30 miles away, he mentioned
a huge flash and loud sound also. I am therefore mentioning it should a
fireball have fallen during a rainstorm and might other-wise go unnoticed.
