OT: a strange thunderstorm yesterday in H-town. Lightning mostly at a very sharp angle, instead of usual where most lightning is typically close to the right angle.
Lost power for a while, but then some strange electrical event occurred.
Some bulbs, especially those that are 'new' (economical) type started glowing in red (not white or yellow) and several electrical outlets (I assume those with fuses) started a slight buzz (which I recorded) for a good 15-20 min, then stopped.

I am not an electrician, but what could have caused it? Some residual charge in the air? It was very weird, never seen/heard anything like that.

sideways lightning, bulbs glowing red, outlets 'buzzing', I don't know of any natural electrical thunderstorm phenomena that can produce those kind of effects ... that sounds well, unbelievable, have you considered alien activity in the area? Or some other kind of radiation, increased solar proton flux? What latitude are you at?

here is the weird 'induced" light..it was not flickering, steady.

normal light from the same lamp for comparison

Latitude-About 30oN.

... I think that looks like a halogen bulb, it could well have a reddish emission spectrum for low voltages (DC current). The sideways lightning can sometimes occur ahead of a thunderstorm as the lightning arcs out from the anvil top ahead of the storm into the dry air area ahead, these are known as 'bolts from the blue' and can be very powerful due to the large heights and associated voltage potentials they jump across ... I'm leaning more towards just some v. powerful lightning (as in high voltage) raising the ground potential significantly around your house ... rather than alien activity ... when this happens the local ground can temporarily be at a higher voltage than the 'live' high voltage line of the grid and weird shit begins happening as it drains currents into the grid

a very solid explanation for both low angle lightning and the induced "red light".
