Anna Lindstrom
Summer 1980 at a summer cabin in Finland, I was little when this happened so this is what people have told me. A big thunderstorm came rolling in from the sea, heavy winds it was raining horizontally and alot of thunder and lightning. Lightning hit the edge of the roof about 3 meters from where i was. It was a hell of a boom and it smelled burnt wood but it wasnt burning and it made a hole in the roof. And my grandmother also saw a ball lightning above the stove where she was standing.
I was also in Helsinki on August 22, 2007 when a powerful thunderstorm hit the Helsinki area. Me and my cousin were painting her new house ( on the inside ). Reports say lightning bolts struck at a rate of about 2500 times an hour. And I didnt have my camera with me guess who was happy. I dont know how close I was but lightning was everywhere, at least I was in the right place for the biggest storm in 2007 without a camera....
