What an early morning experience. I was awake for the storm as it came near by and then directly overhead. Then never in my life, at around 5:30am, have I witnessed thunder so loud and rumbly that it not only shook the house (making it creak), shook the furniture, shook my insides, but you could also 'feel' the air around violently rattle too.
That storm alone makes up for all the years I've missed out. Cheers for that, Mother Nature.
