Mother Of All Thunderstorms

Around 10pm, all hell broke loose: The Mother of All Thunderstorms. Well, OK, the first major one this year. Strong winds and lashing rains: 30mm of rain in one hour. There were lightning strikes on fishing boats in the harbour, the southwestern end of the island, and outside my window. Coupled with very loud CRACKS of thunder over my head. The street lights went down, momentarily, a couple of times. A couple of times I had to step back from the window. (These days I get my thrills where I can). Fortunately, I had just shut down the computer. So I unplugged that, and the modem too. Mother Nature.
Awesome!
