[meteorite-list] Light and sound event over North Eastern Pennsylvania 2011/04/16 17:30-18:00

[MEM]

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.
