This storm came in with style.

I visited my brothers then came back to Freo, stopped at home long enough to grab the camera and yell at ascetic_hedony to come then we bolted up to the Monument.

North there were dark grey clouds, rain falling and then gold light where the sun setting showed through a break in the clouds. East it was all cream, gold and blue. The moon was up as well, shining over the last piece of cloud to catch the dying sunlight. South was streaked in cream, pink and blue. West was almost solid black above the lights of the port, it was interrupted by flashes of orange light; above which was brilliant white forked lightning.

As we sat and watched; a twister formed out to sea in the North-West (lj icon). By this time the parking area was choked as more and more people come up to watch. A guy in a flannel shirt with his kid came running up the hill, they flung themselves down on the grass and gave Kenobi a scritch when he welcomed them.

God I love living here.
