Thunder and lightening every 10 seconds, right over the house. The walls are shaking in some instances. :o

We had a bit of thunder and lightning around 12:30 last night, along with a bit of a downpour.  Trouble is, after the storms we had in France last week, these seemed a bit mickey mouse.

However, I'm still nervious when I hear that sudden clap, followed by the ongoing rumble, as when the garage went, I was convinced it was a thunderstorm

I suspect it got a lot worse for you to have mentioned it  ???. As I said, we only had a few decent claps of thunder and lightning, couple with a bit of a (admittedly quite heavy) rain for half an hour or so.

I imagine it strengthened as it went south, until burning out somewhere.


The storms we had over in France though, they were something else - but then I guess the heat and humidity had driven them.  I was concerned about the car one day, as the hail stones were like big marbles...  ...so I parked under a tree until it stopped ;D
