The wind picked up, the awesome rumbles were high above and so deep in sound as we continued to wait for the rest, all the while munching on our yummy popcorn.
The we recognised the lower level of thunder as a sign the lightening was about to arrive and - tah dah ... it arrived in spectacular force.
It was so beautiful as it lit up the whole sky with a beautiful light purple glow as the rain was pelting down.
But the icing on the cake was the freaky sized hail stones falling in every direction.
We looked like a couple of hillbillies sitting our our chair munching away and cheering as the mini storm hit with another lightening strike or a roll of the thunder or the evil hail stones banging against the windows 😄😄
We've both seen bigger and more ferocious storms from where have come from, but this was still a great one to sit back and enjoy, better than T.V.
I do hope that you are all safe, warm and dry.

Here is the info I have copied from the website as well:
A Wellington coffee cart worker who was fired for using bad language feels like "a weight" is off her shoulders after being awarded $16,000 for unfair dismissal.
Rachel Ferrari was sent packing from her Flying Bean coffee cart job in Petone in May 2018.
Ms Ferrari admitted she often used colourful language with customers, but only when the situation warranted it.
"It's not like I would come out with a swear word in everyday conversation I would gauge the customer and if they were having a bad day try and put a smile on their face," she told Seven Sharp.
"They'd always leave with a laugh."
However, after receiving a warning from her boss over language, a customer then complained and Ms Ferrari lost her job around two months later.
She lawyered up, and a recent decision saw her awarded $16,000 for unfair dismissal.
"It feels like a weight is off my shoulders, completely my name is cleared," she said.
Stuff reports that Flying Bean "denied Ferrari's claims and said her dismissal was procedural and substantively fair."
Ms Ferrari now has a new job serving coffee in Upper Hutt.
When asked if she has since curbed her language when interacting with customers, Ms Ferrari said: "I took points from my new boss, watched him with a couple of customers and I thought OK then this is fun, this is my environment."
My take, it does not matter what ethnicity you are or any culture you live in , I believe you can work as any employer or employee without swearing. It is just not needed especially if you are working in a job where you are working face to face with customers. Outside the work place, you can say whatever you want, in the workplace, NO WAY!
What do others think? Does anyone think or need to having swearing at work?

Our landlord has recently sold our home so we are currently, hunting for a new residence to rent. We are a family of 8, 5 adults and 3 teenagers. As 4 of us, work out West Auckland and our teens all go to school out West, we would prefer a property in that area. However we all have cars, so not too far out from West Auckland would be fine as well. We also have an out door dog and a couple of cats. We are willing to consider anything out there that meets our needs. Thank you
