Cracking Storms!

We had violent thunderstorms early this morning and again this evening, producing massive hailstones and flooding. The lighthouse at Hunstanton was struck by lightening in the early hours:

It was the hottest day in the hospital EVER today. The best description to portray how we all felt was the feeling that hot water was running from top to bottom all day long, which is it was!!! Everyone's clothes were wet and it was beyond exhausting. I suppose my colleague and I who were out in the community for some of the day should have felt lucky, but not when in one particular person's prefab property where it was 40°c!!! We were both close to collapse! I can't wait for the predicted cooler weather this weekend – they better not be wrong!!!
