debithaWe get storms in New Zealand, and in England. I mean, obviously, right?
But the storm that's rolling around the western Mediterranean tonight makes you realise why there was always a god of thunder. The lightning isn't so much striking as dancing. Maybe just for the sheer joy of it. Single and double streaks of light that sometimes streak down, unless they feel like leaping sideways. I swear, as I watched one, I felt it in my eardrum. Occasionally there's an answering leap from further west, or to the north. Every so often there's a dull shout of thunder.
I have to get up in a few hours, or I'd just sit up all night and watch it. It's mesmerising.
There's just a little rain coming in at the moment. It has that sharp metallic smell you sometimes get when it's been really dry.
