11th August 2020 - A thunderstorm to remember

Gawd, what a long night this was! Just incredible. This isn't a blog though, rather it's 34 minutes of something that lasted five hours.....but this is honestly what it was like for us in Fife all night. I've never experienced a storm as prolonged and intense as that, not even overseas. It was pretty much relentless between 8pm and 1am, with a crazy amount of rain causing local flooding and landslides.....and then it pepped up again later in the morning for a few hours. Personally, I couldn't pull myself away for the duration. I stood with the door open for hours just taking it all in. The sights, the sounds, the smells.....the power of nature laid bare. I don't know if I'll ever experience another storm like that in Scotland....so I do at least have this wee memento to relive it whenever I want :) I actually find it quite relaxing! Probably best viewed at night on a big screen with the lights off to get the full effect ;-) But mind it does therefore have a strobing effect too!
