Many times when we discover what a family member is/was thinking, it often is not what we thought!
My mother told a story of something that happened when she was young -
Living in New York City (Manhattan) at the time, during an electrical storm in the summer, a ball of lightening danced in one apartment window, and out the other!
I believe the windows were side by side - not across the room.
In the history of the world, this has most probably happened to many people.
It’s recently that I thought how I neglected to ask my parents to expound on stories I heard as a youngster. I’m thinking this neglect was because I was busy raising my own kids and never thought to ask.

God,can I identify with that.
I have so many unanswered questions.

I have the same regrets!
Yikes on the lightening in and out the windows! A transformer was hit on an overhead power line right by my house once and sparks shot out of the plug-ins. Really scary and fried all electrical things that were plugged in. That was before we had surge protectors. I had no idea that could happen until it did. I am sure the lightening in and out the windows had the same effect on your mom and whoever else saw it.
