On Saturday 8th December another early rainy season thunderstorm moved in from the north-west with much lightning, very loud claps of thunder and a cloudburst of torrential rain and hail driven by almost hurricane force gusts of wind. Just after the storm had passed overhead there was a spectacular lightning strike on a tree in Murambi Suburb which momentarily lit up with bright orange flame as shown in the accompanying still frame capture, time-lapse animations and mosaics. 24 mm of rain fell in less than half an hour and there was some damage to trees and plants in gardens.
