Thunderstorms

SkiveSkive Posts: 15,282 Skive's The Limit
Whislt everybody else has been experiences some shitty weather recently, we've had it pretty good until just now. It's been hot and real close all day and the thunderstorm and rain we just had was incredible.

I happened to be walking the dog in the middle of the forest at the time, in nothing more than shorts and t-shirt. Never seen rain like it in this country.

In the middle of this my dog caught a fox and the two of them were making a horrendous noise, whilst the thunder boomed. It's was really sureal.

Had any thunder today?

    yeah , birmingham had a month of rain in a few hours last week, and there's a severe weather warning out tonight, so we'll see :(.

    Hopefully we'll get all the rain outta the way for the summer :)

    We haven't had any thunderstorms, but we have had some really random spurts of heavy rain... I was at work the other day, and it was a lovely hot day. We had the doors from the bar to the terrace open and people were outside having their drinks. Then suddenly, out of the blue the sun fucks off and it starts pissing it down. Bit of a bummer really.

    We haven't had any yet, but its come over really dark and I'm expecting it to be after the weather earlier. According to the Met Office website I'm due severe weather in about 20 minutes.

    There's a nice little thunderstorm going on in Braintree right now. Not as bad as what you said though Skive, seen worse (not MUCH worse, but worse none the less), although the lightning is really bright and the thunder is really loud...the rain seems to be getting harder as well...I think I probably spoke too soon :o.

    Our thunder was right on time. I was a bit disappointed though, other than a few rumbles and flashes there wasn't much of a storm here, the rain wasn't even that hard.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    yeh it's been really muggy here today. it's now raining, thundering and lightning!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Yup, thunder and lightning here now :D Hurrah! Although i was outside watering my strawberries and hanging basket in my slippers and i got rained on :( (i'm so cool, by the way...)

    The weather was fine until about 6pm. Which happens to be the time I finish work. So, just as I was putting my coat on and getting to ready to leave, it starts pissing it down. It's as if God decided to pour one massive bucket of water over us. I arrived home looking like something the cat dragged in... only to drag out again in embarrassment.

  • BunnieBunnie Posts: 6,099 Master Poster
