    Thunder and lightening sounds intense. Glad to have missed that although it could still swing by here yet... 

    Hope you manage to rearrange the meal if you're not up to going.

    I don’t like thunder and lightning. When I was a little girl our house was struck by lightning, there was the loudest bang and the carpet set on fire. It was so frightening. 

    Hope you can rearrange the restaurant or at least get something nice set up in place of it.
