I believe I have heard something like that yes, but never so close and
clear as that.  I would have been a bit freaked out were I that close
to a strike.  I believe just the sound wave [thunder] of a strike can
actually do damage if you are close enough [shock wave].

I wonder if the mini pre-strikes come that much earlier due to the
varying speed of sound [due to inconsistent density of air over the
various paths taken from exploding air to ear] or for some other reason.
