Storming in Kabul

I got woke up at 11pm last night to a big bang in town. At first I thought there was a bomb in Kabul but a few seconds later I saw a flash and another boom....It was a huge thunder storm coming in. We haven't had any rain here for months and we made up for it last night. It poured all night and everything in town is flooded now. The power started acting up at that point too and then went out at 1:15am and is still out in all of Kabul now.

On the election front they are supposed to release the results for about 65% of the votes tonight and it should be a good factor in determining who will win or if there will be a run off. I can tell the local government is getting ready for it as check points have cropped up all over town again.

Ill post more later after I hear some of the results....Later....JB
