Storm clouds

We have had interesting weather here today for summer: thunder, lightning and hail that whitened the ground for a while.  Other parts of Canterbury had tornadoes, but I didn't see them from here.
I'm just home from a month's trip to the States, driving from Tucson, Arizona to Florida and back.  I'll try to back-blip a few over the next week or two.  Sorry I haven't had time to comment recently.
