Today we had a series of thunderstorms with most of them further away. One made right above our house and I went out to take some footage of the rain and the thunder. The last bang was somewhere very close, and in the video below you can see the lightning followed immediately by the extremely loud thunder. I took that as a sign to get quickly inside.
During my childhood in Germany there were many thunderstorms in our area, just like these. But here in Finland I’ve never experienced one that strong. Makes one feel small and at the mercy of nature.
How is it in the area where you live, do you have thunderstorms?
Hope you are safe and well.
I live in SE Finland, Lappeenranta. When storm rises from east, it is usually quite strong. But luckily only a few times per summer. My srongist storm was in 1972 in Savonlinna. I could write about it a long and boring story. But maybe not, haha!
Happy Midsummer!
Thanks for the comment, Juha! I’m sure the story about the 72 storm is not boring at all 🙂 You live in a wonderful area, I’ve been there once during summer, so many nice locations. Mukavaa Juhannusta!
