well captured. I didn't realise there were so many forks.

Neither did I till I slowed it all down, it's quite scary when you see how much there is in one strike.

Wow that is amazing footage

Sorry to hear about your friends house though

[GrandmaDig]

Yes, it was sad, there were a few hits locally but that was the worst I believe.

Wow! Never seen that in Caithness - it's more common in East Anglia. I've usually been blessed with good weather the times I've been farthest North-East. Hope the people who lost their house got things right back together again.

It was, wasn't it!
