Thunderstorm

WOW! We're currently having the evilest (is that a word?) thunderstorm I have experienced in a long time. It started with getting darker and darker outside (even though it was only 8pm. It doesn't get dark before 10 here at the moment). Then there was a strong (MIGHTY strong) wind. Thick black clouds were racing across the sky. The trash container in our backyard got blown away. Lots of leaves and even whole branches got ripped off trees and blown through the air. Then there was a flash (which was about 1km away. We counted the seconds until we heard the thunder). Even though it was that far away we could actually hear it rip apart the air. Then the rain started. But it took a long time before it reached ground because the wind decided to play with it some more.

As I was typing this the wind has gotten less. Now it's only rain and lightning. But wow. And I was wondering why I got this bad headache in the afternoon. I should've known. My head is very susceptible to weather changes.
