I'm in Eastern Canada and we've had a number of thunderstorms over the last couple days. These thunderstorms, accompanied by lots of rain, have woken me up in the early morning two or three times this week. I swear I was almost hit (or at least it seemed like it) when a storm started almost instantaneously overhead a week ago. Just yesterday, a house downtown was hit and burned down as a result.

It's pretty common to get a thunderstorm here and there during the summer with the pressure changes and whatnot but the occurrence of storms lately have been unusually frequent.
