I saw the most dramatic thunderstorm of my life in the Queensland outback almost exactly eleven years ago (when writing much of the story which became OUBLIETTE). I realised posting this I actually recorded and posted it at the time. There were scenes like the first panel (late at night, after most of this action) but my little phone camera in 2013 was incapable of capturing them.

The undershirt thing isn’t made up – I have shirts that actually do this – but honestly felt like the weirdest part of this whole sequence for anyone who hasn’t experienced it.
