Re: Thunder and lightning
Still going on and off since just after six (managed to get the bins out without getting too wet) nearest storm was around 8.30pm. Lovely

Many years ago (about 1983 IIRC) there was an incredible "atmospheric" thunderstorm over Bristol, masses of lightning discharges which you could watch radiating out from a point or racing across the sky, but not a drop of rain.
It was amazing! |
that was the year i was born

Re: Thunder and lightning
Modem went down for about half an hour.
Saw quite a few direct strikes down to earth. One of the biggest so far this year.
I've seen a lot worse though, but this was good.
A little scary too when I'm up in the roof.

Re: Thunder and lightning
More work tomorrow with all this lightening 
Dead quiet here - no rain AFAIK and definitely no thunder. All hot and humid still.

Would have loved to but just when I was about to, the thunderstorm stopped.
I'm hoping for a repeat performance tommorow.
Although it may come back later tonight. Its boiling here right now. I hope it rains.

Re: Thunder and lightning
Bah, nothing to write home about in Swindon today... few flashes o' lightning, the odd pathetic rumble, but no great storms.
The best storms I've seen were in the south of France during a heatwave a few years back. That took the electricity out for a very long time, and scared me half to death. Normally I really enjoy storms, but not that one

Re: Thunder and lightning
Real proper storm here, started last night about 9pm. Looks like the drains overflowed as there is dirt all over the roads.

Re: Thunder and lightning
Around 9/10pm last night we had some lightning and then it rained about midnight and really did come down but apart from that, that was it.
This morning its very cloudy and been drizzling all morning.
