Heard a lightning directly over us and having a couple of questions now
Hello peeps, my partner and I went hiking a couple of days ago and almost reached the summit. He was standing on a ridge close to the summit (around \~4600m, summit was \~4700) and taking a video. It was snowing, hailing and raining. In the video u can hear electrical buzz which he said sounded like it was at the back of his head, then it stopped for a couple of seconds and then a thunder exploded right above us from which u can hear the half at the end. Our questions are: we didn't see any lightning, where was it? Could he have been hit? Also I didn't hear the electrical buzz, but I was around 5 elevation meters lower than him, why is that?
