    Electric went off for 2 minutes about 30 mins ago.

    Yeah, in Halkirk it was pretty bad(don't know about anywhere else). Seemed to be coming this way through to Thurso though.

    I saw some good flashes and there were some pretty loud rumbles.

    Default Thunder

    I just drove back from Thurso and thunder and lightning there with very heavy rain on the roads. Take it steady.

    oh it came back again, but thankfully not as bad as it was the other week, but it seems to have left a lovely evening.

    Must have been some Tourist defrosting their Freezer from their RV.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
