Lightning strikes!

こんなにドキドキしたの本当に久しぶり！！！！！

友達と川で　BBQ しててお好み焼きと焼きそば作ってたんだけど、ちょうど食べ終わった時に遠くで雷の音がして、　私達がいるとこは凄く晴れてたんだけど、いきなり凄く強い風が飛んで来て必死にかたずけをしてたんだけど、　どんどん風が強くなって雷もどんどん近づいて落ちるのを見て凄いびびった！

雷が怖くて怖くてしゃがんでたらいきなり私達のちょうど上　（橋と橋の間）に雷があたって凄かった！！！！　　

It was such a fine day, but all of a sudden this thunderstorm hit us and we could see the fork lightning coming closer and closer.. So we all hid under the bridge waiting for lightning to strike and I saw it hit between the two bridges above our heads.. It was incredible!!

We don't get much fork lightning in NZ, mainly sheet lightning so it was all pretty new for me and completely freaked me out.

Such an adrenaline rush!!!

みんな橋の下で雨宿りしてたけど　びしょ濡れになって　その前の誇りで泥だらけになって　凄く久しぶりにドロドロになってなんか楽しかった！！！

そこまでぬれるともう雨の下を走ってる方が気持ちいいよね。。

It felt so good to get completely drenched and covered in mud today.
I haven't felt like that since coming to Japan.. and it actually felt amazing to feel really dirty.. lol..

嵐もすぐ去ってこんな素敵な日になってすぐ乾いたしなんか忘れられない一日になりました！



It's hard to believe this photo was taken an hour after the storm started..
But there you go..

Our prayers during that storm were answered.
