Yeah! We get the very occasional squall that whips in, hammers the coast, and leaves just as quickly.

On a day not unlike this one once, it was quiet and overcast one moment, then the next, there was rain pelting sideways and the strongest wind...

I ran around my unit closing windows, then went on to the balcony. I could see garden furniture flying around, including an entire table that bounced off the next door units' roof!

I went to pick up our balcony chair and watched in frozen amazement as a large garden umbrella picked up from the ground four floors below me and flew straight towards me. Thankfully it glanced off the railing and then carried on over the units behind into the next street, or it could have taken my head off.
Wild stuff!

**Sorry LordK, off topic but as not many have pics, we're keeping the thread up till others arrive who do!
