What a night. The first storm cluster passed us in about 25km distance.

The second one hit us right in the face. The sky was constantly flashing and there was a continuous rumble, not individual thunder. (You can’t really hear it in the video, I was too close to the window …)

Most of the lightning was inside the clouds, apparently.

No water damage this time, luckily.

@movq At least that looks really cool! We didn't get any thunderstorm at all.

@lyse You didn’t?! Wow, I could have sworn I saw several storms in your area in the storm tracker. Guess I was wrong. 😅

@movq Sure, they were forecast, but they never actually arrived here. :-)

Would you guys like some Beryl?

@bender Nope! Thank you very much. Nope! 😂

@bender I cannot accept that kind gift! :-D I enjoy the drizzle at 12°C.
