Electric storm

I love running in the rain, and rescheduled yesterday's run to today as I knew it would be raining, but there is unforecast thunder and lightning - should I go out or would it be dangerous? French storms can be a bit vicious, my house got hit a couple of years ago and it knocked out all the electrics, blew up the fridge and washing machine....perhaps it will quiet down by the time I'm ready to go out.

Stay in the house until the thunder and lightning stops. We don't want fried curly gurly !

Seriously though, you should never be the tallest thing outside in a storm.

No, I'm still here! It was raining heavily, but the storm had finished. And, yes, the sun came out after, then strong breezes.. a bit of everything yesterday!
