Characteristics: Animals reacted

Bright blue flash lit up sky, yard, whole back meadow, giant eucalyptus and oaks like it was daytime, but silent.

bright blue flash of light in northern and western sky like very nearby lightning but no sound except crazy loud wind gust. Conditions are partly cloudy, bright stars, showers, windy. I have seen a lifetime of midwest lightning displays, never saw this bright blue color or that intense of a flash with no loud crack right behind. Our dogs are not afraid of thunder, wind or lightning, but they ran back to door to be let in and were nervous.
