Where did the lightning strike?

Holy cow Sunday! Near 5th Ave, I'd guess between Carroll and 6th St . . . BIG pop, no time between the flash and the noise...

I guess most nonwireless 'puters are smartly turned off right now.
:shock:

There were police and fire trucks on 5th between Douglass and Sackett right after the bang, but wasn't clear what the damage was.

Pitu, you should have come out and met me! It was my neighbors building

Yeah, that was one hell of a bang. I felt it go through my chest. And just five minutes later, I had five fireman on my doorstep. There was even ash falling from the sky. Luckily, there's no damage to report.

Mamacita, we must be neighbors.....
