Thunderstorm

We don't get them much in the Northwest US, but thunderstorms come often this time of year to Bavaria.  This one was (is, actually, since it is happening as I write) particularly fierce with high winds and lots of lightning and thunder.

This is the view of the storm from Christoph's house:
