3.30 am --woken up with an almighty clash of thunder which made the window rattle , a few more followed with lightening flashes, well i was truly awake so went outside to see the light show and it was worth it as it went on until after 4 am. when it faded in the distance.
The first thunderstorm for summer , luckily with all the lightening no bush fires were started , everything here is bone dry , the country fire service has told those that are in bush fire areas to clear around the house and have an evacuation plan ready
