Thunderstorms

I'm not sure about the rest of Japan but we have been having some cracking thunderstorms this last week and yesterdays was the biggest by far, it went on for about 3 hours and the thunder was so loud it hurt my ears. We only had a little rain though although some areas were warned about flooding, the power did go out - twice. I think Ebi-kun was quite excited about the prospect of cooking dinner on the camp stove, luckily it came back on in time for dinner. He has also started to take an interest in planets and so he was convinced that it was the planet gods bowling that was making all the noise :o) I love little kid logic!
