So a little before 5 am here, there's a flash of light from the west (how bright, I dunno -- I was half asleep) followed 5-7 seconds later by a long rumbling sound, about twice as long as your run-of-the-mill thunderclap, I guess. So either we're having thundersnow -- which is not unheard of, I know -- and this was the only lightning strike of the night, or something on the other side of town exploded (there were sirens about 3-4 minutes later).
It was not, as my first thought usually is when there's a flash of light or satellite interference, Fort Riley getting nuked. That would've taken a lot longer for the sound to get here, and it probably would've been a bit louder.
And now I'm awake. Bother.
