This is/was an epic thunderstorm. Blocks of hail so big that they bounced stones off of my neighbour's roofs. The cul-de-sac is flooded. Forked lightning and very loud thunder.
I was in the shower when it started, and I have no idea whether being in a shower during a thunderstorm is more dangerous than not, so I rinsed very quickly and got out.
Why is it always bigger hailstones in summer than winter?
Now it's stopped raining and left us with that weird peri-storm witchlight, and I feel very strange having watched that.
