Yesterday afternoon my village was the victim of a flash flood. There was thunder, lightning strikes on roofs, hail, water rushing along the roads as high as the wheel arches of cars. The front and back doors were shaking from the rain beating on them and it was as black as night. All in the space of about ten minutes! Luckily for us we are on a slight incline so the water didn’t hang around for long after. But what a mess that storm left.
About two miles along the coast a woman fell off a cliff trying to rescue her dog (miraculously, both survived!) Unfortunately a cyclist was killed by a car near the next town and a van driver slid off the road and died just up from that.
A bad day’s weather to be sure, made worse by the fact that today is beautiful and summery.
