Many people took to social media site Twitter where some users described their excitement, while others took the opportunity to make a joke out of. One of the witness told ABC that they heard a ‘boom’ before seeing the light in the sky. “We just thought it was lightning to start with, but the boom that came after it was definitely not thunder. It shook the whole house, the windows, the dog went psycho.”
