We love the sound of rolling thunder. Here in the Limpopo Waterberg we get storms much the same as those in the Drakensberg Mountains of KwaZulu-Natal. The clouds build up and then the flashes of lighting bring a spectacular display of light energy, crashing sounds and best of all, rolling thunder. We need to unplug all our appliances if we want to save them from getting struck and completely burnt to a frazzle. Those lightning protectors do not work here and the telephone cable glows blue when the lightning hits one of the old farm lines. Living a rural life can still put on an awesome lightning display to match the best laser shows out there!
