Well typical, I post, it goes quiet! ...

THEN! ... a massive bit of lightening and about 5 seconds later the house nearly took off! ...lol

Camera is at the ready! ... altho as you say maybe it's the wrong time, but so far it seems impressive!

It IS safe isn't it?

I'm waiting! ...

Still, in 10 weeks or so I haven't seen or heard anything like this yet. Some serious rain, but even that's prob nothing like the summer I guess.

Just waiting for the next big bang!

Ok. If you weren't aware, during a storm, half of a hill (landfill site and then built on)above the sanctuary, slipped, leaving several houses jutting out over. Bad enough for people to be forcably removed in case they went over.
