Luckily we have three 8 litre bottles of water so no panic yet.

Did you get the hail as well? The noise was unbelievable! Hopefully it's gone now, but the power is still tripping all the time.

Yes we did, but thankfully not for long. Hailstones were trapped in the mossy screens over the windows. We have had to move stuff from the walls as rain came in and everything was getting wet :ohmy: The electric only tripped once but is ok after resetting.

It is belting down with a mighty gusting wind that is rocking the trees!

Just a little tormenta, hopefully one that will exhaust itself tonight and clear the skies for tomorrow. Ahh, that is thunder I hear. It is going to be a good one!
