After the storm...

After the most spectacular thunderstorm last night, with sheet lightning illuminating the sky in all four directions every couple of seconds followed by torrential rain and hail, I ventured up to the allotment expecting the worst. However, apart from a few broken stems and leaves, it appears to have managed to escape the worst of any damage which was evident in the surrounding gardens and roads.
