Rock The Kasbah, Literally

Well last night as we left the plant very early 7pm, we trying to avoid the giant thunderstorm that was tracking towards us, there was huge lightning strikes flashing across large parts of the sky, all very pretty, so we rushed back to our hotel called the Kasbah, as we were all sitting having dinner about 8pm we saw what looked like a water fountain display in the pool, large bubbling explosions was happening all over the pool, so we all jumped up to look out of the windows and saw what i can only describe as a wonder of nature, we had golf ball sized hail stones bouncing around the pool area and splashing in the pool, i would have taken a picture but it wouldn't have looked much in the dark. the storm rumbled on for a while longer then turned to a downpour of rain, i went to bed later on at 9pm and thought nothing of the storm until i got up next morning and saw it was still raining cats and dogs and the storm was still rumbling all around the town. When we went to the jobsite we tried to outrun it but it caught us this time and we were pounded all the way (50Km) to the site, luckily it dispersed as we got there so we had a dry sunny day but the site was all muddy, this did actually bring out the wildlife and we saw these little toads hopping about the place and to say this is a very dry country i was surprised. little things please little minds i suppose,
