Holy crap what a massive change. The thunder my wife thought was an explosion, it was that loud.
I was sitting on a balcony in Moonah... just happened to be looking right at the spot in the sky where the flash occurred about 10 degrees north of the Zenith. So damn bright I instantly flinched then nearly left the chair like a bomb was under it when the thunder arrived about 2 seconds later. Must have been right under it.

Temperatures now halved. Wish I was at my observing site in the mountains right now. Must be sheer bloody heaven there.
