What do you mean we are twins?

They were not kidding about the storm warning yesterday. It's the first time I have been scared during a thunder and lightening storm. The sky was almost black, the rain so intense that I discovered my cycle helmet was leaking water from between the plastic coating and the foam polystyrene lining inside!
It was deafening, the rain white as it mixed with hailstones, bending palm trees and me up to my knees in swirling water as I unblocked the drain by the gate. It was either that or a flooded house.
Here's a link to the same storm but over the town down the road.
