Not the Simmer Dim ...

It is 11pm, and we are in the midst of the best thunder and lightening storm that I've seen here.

I think it is easing now after about 20 minutes of the sky lighting up at 2 second intervals, loud peals of thunder close by, and large and warm raindrops pounding the front steps. 

Not a very good picture, but it was too wet to stand around outside.
