Windy!

It was windy with very heavy rain last night and as usual we have no power now because some more power poles came down, this time about 100km from here. Don’t know how long that’ll be off for - a few days at least. This of course means the water is off – no pump working.

I love the storms here. In the UK, you see about one lightning flash a minute. Here it is just continuous across the sky – sometimes one flash being replied to by another in different part of the sky. I would say there are at least 20 flashes per minute.

During the storm my roof leaked. Luckily in the middle of the room where there is just floor – nothing electrical. I think it was a combination of the amount of rain and the direction the wind was blowing.
