Hello Tom, I always love a Haiku, especially when one is so well written. You and I must have had storms on our minds this past week. Blessings, Daniel

Thank you Daniel, funny you say that. We've had a heatwave the last few days and a big storm is forecast, love to see them in all their glory. Tom

Thank you Judy, thankfully by the time it reaches the uk it has weakened. I don't mind the rain either in moderation of course. Tom

Made famous by one Al Copone lol. Thankfully by the time it reaches the uk its run out of steam, and the Welsh hills act as a buffer,well where I live anyway. Hope you're keeping well Gershon. Just back from travelling again. Tom
