I was on Table Mountain for that strike (this was about 5:20). Me and a few other people had parked at the lot and hiked down the north side of the mountain a little ways. That particular storm wasn't *too* close - thunder was nearby and kind of overhead-ish, but the lightning strikes weren't close....until that one. I didn't see it directly, only the flash of light from directly overhead. My brain had a moment to process what the flash was...then I heard a crack, followed by what you would expect thunder to sound like when you're that close. The sad thing was that I was hiking around taking video on the off chance I might catch some thunder on audio. I had just stopped the video to take a few stills and missed it.
Nobody could tell exectly where it hit. I saw no smoke.
