My aunt Katie once had the thunderbolt come down the chimney, or so I am told. Anyone remember that storms used to turn milk sour? I can remember my mother unplugging things if there was a heavy storm. Don't mind thunder and lightning, but having survived through two hurricanes in London, don't want those again. The last one, all my local buses stopped running in case the double deckers blew over, and I had to struggle to walk the last mile or two against a wind that blew me back two steps for every three I took.
