Why Are There Lights Outside My Window?

My favourite recent Facebook post came from a town's community page. A woman was complaining about the flashing lights she'd seen outside her house the night before, and she asked if anyone else had been woken up by them.

Several other people also complained about the lights and how they're sleep had also been affected. The last post from the thread I saw revealed what had disturbed their peaceful slumber on that fateful night. Turns out it was a thunder storm.

I really think some people shouldn't be left unsupervised.
