Lightning nevers strikes twice - I beg to differ....

Well folks not in the same place so far, however on my way to my parents house in Southend where I stay whilst working in the UK, the train on which I was traveling had to make an emergency stop because a signal was stuck by lightning turning it red, so its been a couple of stormy days, luckily after everything was reset we were able to complete our journey through a spectacular thunderstorm. News from France is that half our street are still without internet connections and our neighbour and fellow B&B owner Jean-Luc went to petition the Marie and hopefully something will happen within 24 hours...
