## Caption

A Ring camera captured the moment a loud thunderclap startled a family in Leesburg, Virginia. A father was warning his children about playing outside during a storm when the sudden boom sent everyone running back inside. ⁠
⁠
He shared the video on social media saying: "I tried to enjoy a thunderstorm and talk electricity with my kids... but it was too close to home."⁠
