I was looking out my front window talking on the cell phone. The flash definitely happened first. It was confusing as to what flashed. It seemed "all around"; it wasn't clear to me that it was something in the sky. After I looked around both behind me in the house and out the window for a second to see what flashed, the meteor then appeared in the sky across the street to the right but pretty high up. The meteor made its path similar to other meteors I have seen. It lasted about 2.5 seconds. It was definitely more "pronounced" than other meteors I have seen.
