When was the last time Auckland had a really good thunderstorm? It's been that long since i saw a good lights show that i can't actually remember. I know there were a couple last year that shook the place but my memory is fading. I need another good storm to excite me.

The past year has lacked real instability. Also, TS tend to be quite localised most of the time. This year we are due for an unstable summer I think, so heres hoping.
