Close call with some lightening last night.

Mother Nature had her idea of fire works. I was in the shop when it started. I have 2 4 1/2 foot doors. As I was opening the other door to let some of the cool breeze in, I heard a loud "SNAP" from the back of the shop. In the same instant I saw a orange glowing ball, about the size of a basket ball, that was spinning about eye level in the neighbors yard and KA-BOOM. This repeated a couple more times in the next few minutes somewhere behind the shop. A loud snap, instantly followed by a flash and KA-BOOM. I didnt find any tree damage back there. The snap was coming from a big fan (42" blade), all I can figger is static electricity generated by the blades and the charged atmosphere somehow interacted.
