It's great! I'm tucked up in bed trying to study and the flashes are strangely soothing! Seems to be calming now though. I'm in Rahoon area by the way. I'm lucky I did my shopping earlier when it was just windy. (Although if it wasn't for the 5 litre bottle of water I was carrying I'd have blown away!)

Utopia Parkway

Very very frightening!:D

We were just leaving Padraicins when it started; lightning, thunder and rain mixed with hail. Had to wait in the car while the worst blew over.
