The Sky Torn Apart

The sound of rain and thunder was incredible. One of our children was nervous about the thundercracks; I calmly sat with him to count the seconds from each lightning flash to each thundercrack to show him that the worst was over and the storm was moving away. "But Mum, they're getting closer together!" - and then I realised it wasn't just one storm; it was one storm after another storm after another. The sky sounded like it was being torn apart.
