Charlie's Worldstormy
we’ve had some really muggy days this week and last night we had the mother of all thunderstorms.
It was rumbling and grumbling away as we went to bed and then at 2am we were woken up with an almighty bang, shaking the whole house. Must have been a really close strike or sheet lightning right overhead – I’ve never heard anything quite so loud.
Dog and big un’ came in shortly afterwards, timid dog and teenage tears – we quickly whipped around the house unplugging computers and modems and stuff before waiting it out for 30 mins. A violent rain front came in, thundering off the windows and overpowering the drains in seconds and then that was it – the storm moved away and peace was restored.
We had another one this afternoon as its been 30 degrees + and muggy. I’ve been working at home and listening to massive thunder rumbles across the bay all afternoon. There are some huge thunderheads (sadly its too hazy for a good pic) to the west over the ocean right now – we’re probably in for another treat once the sun goes down.
In other news, we got our tax returns done today and all I can say is – wooooohooo!! Thanks Mr Accountant, you’re a star 🙂

I love thunderstorms! Often I can’t resist the urge to rush outside and get drenched! I always forget to pull my electrical devices from the plugs in such an event though, I know I should.

At the right time, getting soaked in the rain is amazing. Not so much on the way to work though! When it rains here, it really really rains.
