Made it to my grandparents’ homeland… Norwegian family here.  Second time over in Norway, but man, this place is absolute sensory overload. Fun watching the Red Sox win 14 from various airports t

Had to zoom in on your pic.

At first, it looked like the gable end of your house got pelted with hail.

Watching the overshooting tops from about 130 miles away...

I recall in the summer of 2019, a friend of mine was driving S on I95 getting close to 128 junction, and he could see DSNT LTG in CB tops to his S.  Turns out it was about 130 mi away over the ocean!  Not often you see LTG that far away in New England, minus higher mtn tops.  So I bet if it was night, you would have seen LTG in these CB tops!

Farthest I have ever seen LTG in New England was about 15 years ago driving N mid-evening on I93 at the 495 junction.  Saw a dull orange flash on the N horizon.  Cell was close to BML, so about 120 mi.

I'm at ~1,200 ft in Burlington CT and twice say lightning flashes over Rutland VT... About 135 miles away.

When I worked as an observer at MKE, I could see lightning quite a ways south of Chicago sometimes so probably around 130 miles as well.
