Anyone else see this last night?

I was watching a movie and saw the lightening like flash through the blind. I didn't see the actual fireball. Then I heard what sounded like thunder a couple minutes later.

The crazy thing is, a couple of my friends and I witnessed an almost identical event about 21 years ago this spring while camping. That fireball had a similar location in the sky along with the same thunderlike sound.
