I stood on my verandah with a cup of coffee watching very close lightning strikes over the cloud covered lake. I cringed to see a couple strolling down by the water's edge holding ...a massive umbrella. Honestly, Vietnamese people do some dumb things but this was the only time I have seriously wanted to shout out a warning...I mean seriously.
Apparently it's normal for this time of year. Tropical storm Chan-Hom might just be the first of a weekly parade of winds and rain... bummer. For my first tropical storm, it was ok.
Although intense, the sight was nothing like a lightning storm engulfs a volcano in Southern Chile on
this day last year >>>
