Scientists have done much research on the weather, but there are still a few weather mysteries. Lightning balls are just one of these strange weather mysteries. One summer, six years ago, I experienced a ball of lightning. It was terrible and strange, and it changed the way I felt during a thunderstorm(雷暴雨).
I was sitting in my kitchen, watching the end of a large thunderstorm. The day became quiet after the thunderstorm. The rain stopped and the sun came out slowly.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion(爆炸声) at the ground below the kitchen window. Without warning, a ball of what seemed like fire entered my home and moved towards me.
I was frightened, unable to move. The ball was about the size of a football. It was colorful. It moved slowly. Just as the lightning ball was about to hit my face, I reached out my hand to touch the ball. I thought that it was better to do that than to let the ball hit me in the face. Just before my finger touched the ball of fire, there was a loud explosion and then it disappeared.
The room was completely silent and there was a strong smell in the air. It all happened very quickly, but it left me with a strong memory. Never again have I been able to rest easily during or right after a thunderstorm.
