Thunderstorm

I was woken early this morning by a loud thunderstorm. The lighting was quite piercing and the thunder loud. It reminded me a bit of the first time we went to Canada to visit relatives near Toronto. There the thunderstorm was quite awesome with different coloured fork lightning streaking the sky. That was also pretty loud and quite something to watch. Down here often the lightning is hidden by cloud but we can still have some spectacular thunder and lightning on occasions. Watching it from a cliff by the sea is certainly an experience!
