anyone get the thunderstorm that passed over us at 4.45 today ...... unbelievable rain ... massive claps and lightning ... anything that can hold water outside is now 30mm deeper than it was at 4.30 this afternoon .... I'd looked at Pam's oxy bottle bottom goblets, lunch time and can swear to the difference in levels after the 20 minute or so deluge ... unreal wet !!

oh and talking to someone in the Dordogne yesterday ... their area looks like a war zone ATM ... golf ball sized hail stones ... holes in roofs, glass out of houses, cars, etc with them beaten to a pulp ... a right 'kin mess .
Pam tells me that it's possible to buy hail damaged cars from insurers in Oz ... regular occurrence apparently ..
