That's what I'm talking about. A nearby lightening bolt that sounds like a crack. I think the booming sound comes from distant lightening for different reasons.

It's like being in a big room and recording a person's voice while he is up close to the microphone. It's a nice clear sharp sound. Then you move him 30 feet away and all you get are "booming" type echoes of his voice.
