Last night...we had an apocolypse of a storm...deadly.
Frightening.
Loud.
Powerful.

3.30 the rumblings turned into crashes and bangs and clatters...
4.00am The rain travelled in waves towards the house.

Lightning so bright the house was brilliant white, haunting.

Never have I been so frightened in this country when listening to a storm...the windowsills vibrated, as did the floor. I waited for the house to implode...

Eventually, the marital bed was filled with a weeping 9 Year old daughter, a cowering 2 year old dog and a terrified long haired moggie...she's about 14.

My beautiful lively boy...slept throughout...deep in slumber...

I staggered to work today...shattered!!!
