Last night (January 31) people in Glasgow and the surrounding area were suddenly awoken by what many have described as a "loudest" bang.
The thunder and lightning happened around 11pm on Monday just when many were settling down for the night. But it wasn't long before they were wide awake.
Taking to social media, residents said that they saw the "brightest" lightning that they had ever seen followed by some pretty scary sounding thunder that startled many kids, adult and pets.
