Things that go boom in the night

Over the past 7 nights we have been woken up 5 times by thunderstorms. They seem to pass by right outside our window sometime between 2am and 6am. Wind, rain, lightning and thunder. Lots of thunder. Very loud thunder. In general, I've really been enjoying the thunderstorms and heavy downpours that occur every couple of days, but the novelty of being woken up by them has definitely worn off. The girls, however, sleep blissfully through it all. I wonder how Buckley (our dog) will cope when he arrives in two week's time?
