It Was A Dark And Stormy Night

Blimey, what is it about the 4th September Mother Nature?  Tried to get a photo of the lightening, but just don't have a fancy enough camera... then came the noise, you could hear it approaching from half a kilometre away... then it arrived with window breaking velocity (didn't, thankfully but my south facing windows do not have any protection and they were getting blasted).... the hail.

I ventured to the doorway and reached out for a hailstone... some as big as golfballs - sorry about the blur.
