Strange lights, strong wind gust, and sulfur smell.

Today, I was in my room in one of our vacation houses watching a movie on my laptop. I had my window open because it was getting hot when I started to hear my neighbor's tarps start to flap and the trees right outside sway. I thought it was just a breeze but then all of the sudden a constant flow of wind strong enough to push my blinds almost to my ceiling occurred.

About 2 seconds after that happened the double doors (made of glass) in my room started to light up. The doors are covered by a thin sheet due to a window on the other side and I was trying to block out sun light. This light was powerful enough to go through the window through the sheet and into my room. The whole thing lasted about ten seconds not fast enough for me to get up and look out the window but after i got up and looked outside there was no breeze no firework signs it was quite. There was no noise except during this for the items affected by the wind. No firework pops or bangs. Me being skeptical I figured it was just a gust of wind but then I smelt a terrible sulfur smell and a burning metallic smell. This lead me to google where I found out a lot of people report the same smells as I did. This all occurred about 10 minutes before it was pitch black.
