I got back to chucktown late last night. After 10 days of lovely weather at home it was a bit of a shock to walk through the sliding glass doors of the airport and into a wall of hot humidness outside. We woke up this morning to a rather impressive thunderstorm. I went out on the porch and watched the street fill with a foot or so of water in a about 10 minutes. Then Steinbrenner came running out of the shower - the shower! - when a flash-and-crash was so close it shook the whole house. I told her what I thought everyone in the whole world knows - that it isn't the best idea to stand in a column of water during an electrical storm. It's still coming down like stair rods right now, actually. Bugger me that was a big bolt close by.
Anyway, we had a really wonderful time back in blighty and now we're safely, but a little sadly, back in Charleston again. Bloody hell, there must be two feet of water in the street now. Lightning seems to be moving away a bit though.
Full details and pictures of the trip when I can get around to it. Steiners just brought me some coffee and I think we'll sit out on the porch watch the cars swim down the street for a while.
