Well that was one heck of a storm...

... it seemed to go on for hours. It *did* go on for hours. Lightening every couple of seconds. Thunder. Downpour.

One flash of lightening and clap of thunder was simultaneous. Must have been right above us. The sleeping cat jumped three feet into the air, all her fur on end. Fury alternately barked, growled, and tried to hide.

Within minutes, the street was one huge puddle, and so was the garden (it did drain away quickly, though: just unable to cope with the volume all in one go). Moriches, a couple of miles further to the east, had some of the worst damage, many trees down.

This mornng it is all calm and innocent and green. Just the heat, haze and humidity...
