minitata's Journal, 27 May 2018

What a night. We were up at sometime after midnight when the lightening blew out our electrics. The stairlift started beeping - as did the alarm. Shirley was on her commode and struggled to get back to bed.

It was a storm like I've only ever seen over the sea in Italy. Lots of lightening flashes with the thunder lagging behind. The one that blew the electrics was a huge flash and a simultaneous very loud bang. I feel sorry for Joe et al who were in a caravan, but as Tony says, it may not have been bad where they are - on the coast about 30 miles away from us.

Such a shame it’s caused you problems but I love a decent lightening storm ⚡️⛈

Sounds like an eventful storm! Hope everything is back to normal now 🙂

Hope you manage to get everything sorted.. the rest of my family said they’d never seen a storm like it!! I woke up briefly with the thunder after midnight, then went straight back to sleep.. a shame as, like P, I love watching storms and the closest I normally get is the programmes on the telly !😉

I love them too - then Shirley was frightened - but I'd been watching it for a while. It was just the one very close flash and bang. The neighbours alarm going off for the net 2 hours didn't help either

Wow!! No storms here in S Devon but showers before 7.00am, now just very dull and misty.

Hope Shirley is ok.. the storm and alarms must have been terrifying if you can’t understand what’s going on properly 😞

I’m glad it cleared the air. 🙋🏻 The feeling after storms is incredible! I think our barometer is rising since I’ve been having inexplicable migraines all week and barometer changes do have a tendency to effect me badly. 🙇🏻‍♀️
