When I was a child, I was afraid of lightning. I remember that in a rainy summer day in the land of the sun, Mexico, to me it seemed like the end of the world. The whole sky turned dark gray and no sun light could go trough. At first, I started hearing weird noises coming from the sky, it sounded like if someone was closing a huge big door in the sky. After a little while the noises became louder and louder, and I ran to hide under my bed. Trough the window I could see the illumination of the lightning similar to a house light, where the light appears and disappear in just seconds. The horrifying moment came after the luminous show, when the strong sound from the sky came after the appearance of thee light. I didn't want to get out of under my bed, I felt safe there.
