>>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.>>

It seems to me that to hear loud sonics within about 5 seconds after the
bright lite appearance, is rather too short of a period to be meteorite
related. It could be I guess, but it just seems too short.
