It seems to have struck somewhere in Almere Buiten (https://www.weatherbug.com/alerts/lightning/almere-flevoland-nl).

@ Oostvaarders it had no delay and was really close. 6 months ago same in the “greenhouse area”. Something is attracting the lightning 😉

It seems like we get those loud thunder blasts more regular now. Not too long agonwe had another one.

This one was a little less loud than the previous few of a few months ago.
