A big storm is approaching; high winds are stripping leaves off trees, everything is switched off and unplugged, lightning is crackling and exploding, thunder booming and banging all around.

The horizon has gone, the trees are disappearing and then you hear it â a faraway whispering and then a solid rushing: the rain is close, very close. Run! The curtain of grey engulfs everything and the sky opens. Pounding down, gutters overflowing, downpipes shaking, streams of mud flowing everywhere.
