At the moment I am sitting on my back deck watching the sky light up & listening 2 the loud rumbling of the thunder. One of the things I love about Australia is the summer storms. Its an amazing show some nights tho the thunder does scare the kids sometimes, its so loud & bass-ey. At times it sounds like a big bomb going off right outside our window! We seem 2 b in a good part of Brisbane coz even tho these storms knock out the power or hailstones the size of golfballs fall in some places, we are usually relatively unscathed 'sigh'. I tried to take a couple of fotos of the forked lightening but unfortunately it was 2 cloudy 2nite so was only able 2 get shots of the bright sky, (taken without the flash) & they didnt come out 2 bad. The top photo is the storm just starting, & the 2nd shot is about 45mins later.

Very cool storm.I love thunder and lightening,and miss the rain,as we don't get much here.I really like the sound of a storm when I'm tucked up at night in bed,that heavy rain on the roof.Does lightening strike in Brisy?.
