London storm the day Hollande's plane was hit by lightning


Horniman Museum, Honor Oak etc framed by storm 

Mid-afternoon on Tuesday the day that the plane carrying France's newly sworn-in President François Hollande was struck by lightning, London had its own very black and threatening sky. The actual storm appeared to be less dramatic than the approaching black cloud.
