Lightning

25 May 2009 The Hague, The Netherlands. It was a hot warm day with almost no wind. Then suddenly in the evening around 9:45 PM lightnings lit up the rapidly darkening sky. I closed my windows as soon as I heard the wind. Within a minute strong winds were howling. The lightnings became audible, the sky was dark. Rain poured out from the heaven. Quite frightening. The lightning lasted the whole night. The sky was like flashing non-stop.
