Unexplained flash of light...
My mother died a little while ago from a brain tumor.

The night/early morning she died there was a thunderstorm. The strange thing is that at around 3AM there was the first flash of lightning but it wasn't accompanied by any thunder...

The next morning when i found out what had happened my dad told me that the doctors said her time of death was approximately....

3.AM

No shit.

if you're a long way away from lightning you don't always hear the thunder

It's strange you should mention that...
...I had something similar happen to me.

Two weeks ago, a mate of mine died in a fatal car crash. But, on the morning, I woke up with a huge start, like someone had made a loud noise or hit me or something similar. Anyway, with such a start, I grabbed my phone to look at the time. The time was 9:48.

Later, I got the bad news about my mate, but in the report was something that scared the shit out of me. The accident happened around 10am that morning.

It's obviously been a strange coincidence, but it scared the hell out of me.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend...
I'm pretty damn sure that what happened to the both of us was merely a coincidence but who knows, I personally don't beleive in the paranormal etc. but what's to say that there aren't things out of our control?

Things that mankind couldn't even begin to comprehend, flashes of light and strange wake ups could simply be what they appear, but they may just be something more.
