There was a warning but I didn't expect such a bang !     We had a helluva clap of thunder here last night, the whole street was up.  Lots and lots of lightening and torrential rain, everything on my bedroom window sill was soaked.  BUT it's been so much more comfortable today so I'm not complaining
