Is anyone else getting the thunderstorms or is it just here on the East Coast ?

There was a huge one last night and another two big ones today.
My Son has managed to get caught in both the downpours today............lol

Poor dog ( Milo ) is going into meltdown ( he hates thunder ) and is wedged under my feet , wobberling like a jelly.

we had a right old blaster of a storm last night. I had to get up and reset the alarm over at the pool house, then the electronic gate gave up the ghost, but fixed it in the end. I didnt sleep that well after all that!!
