OMCD, what a thunderstorm!
At first there was light rain for quite some time, but then it picked up dramatically. I used to think that rains falls down from the sky, but this rain was going from left to right.
Luckily the storm didn't do much damage on my roofdeck as far as I can tell now in the dark.The rain was so dense that you couldn't see further than 50-100 meters, I estimate. At least the nearby town was hidden behind the curtain of water.
There was also some lightning, but you could see only the nearest bolts directly - the rest were only flashes. But there were nearby bolts, sometimes crashing their sharp thunder on us within fractions of a second. Really heavy, and I was glad I wasn't outdoors at that time.
It vanished as fast as it had come, and an hour later we were enjoying some late sunshine again.
Cheers!
