In the light of Haiti and Chile the storm that hit Melbourne last weekend was nothing. However, I post a video I took of it anyway. Mind you it was far worse in other parts of Melbourne than where I live, but it was AMAZING all the same!!! Stirred some primal memory. I felt like a cave woman sitting at the mouth of her cave, both thrilled by, and fearful of, the noise of the rain, and thunder, and the spectacle of hail stones the size of pistaccios (it's what I am eating as I type this so that is what came to mind obviously). Thrilling!!!!!!!!

i like storms too. In fact, I just bought a full-length storm that was recorded in New Zealand by a soundtrack company called 'partners in rhyme' (catchy name). So, while I'm sweltering here in 40 degress, I can close the blinds, put on the a/c full-blast and listen to the lashing rain and rumbling of thunder and imagine I'm in some altogether inhospitable place! Keep up the blog, Julia, you've got some great posts on it.
That sounds cool! I LOVE storms.
How do you re-create the lightning? Strobe plugged into the toaster outlet?
