Loud, Scary Thunder over Aberdeen

Not war

There are reports of loud rumbling and crashing noises in the sky over Aberdeen this afternoon, sometimes preceded by flashes of lightning and often followed by heavy downpour. Town elders pronounce this terrifying phenomenon to be thunder, a common climatic occurrence at this time of year.

Sighs of relief could be (figuratively) heard across the coastal city when it became clear this wasn't the onset of another German invasion.  This marks the 73rd consecutive year free of German invasion in Europe.  Celebrations are scheduled to begin this evening.
