You don't want it. It was scary. I was half way to making a shelter under the table.

This.
I love thunder but that actually just frightened my a bit. My heart pounding.

I was fast asleep as well and it woke me up. Worth it though

That was good thunder, and we're having the best lightning I've seen in this country since I can't remember

 

[chavezcat]

That was epic - and the hail smashed a light in our flat.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I tried to get a video but had to jump off window sill as it was getting flooded and I was scared I'd be struck by lightning

I can't play what I recorded. Can't remember how to play it

 

[editor]

I had to stop filming because huge hailstones were smashing off my camera.

Just as I was getting off window sill I got whacked in the back of the head by some

 

[Miss-Shelf]

poor person running in that rain

 

[quimcunx]

Fire engine looks like it just turned down dumbarton road.

 

[Miss-Shelf]

were you orgasming?

i was doing an essay in the basement

 

[editor]

poor person running in that rain

There were quite a few people laughing wildly later on as they ran by!

*before the hailstones started up!

 

[editor]

Probably for flooding.

 

[quimcunx]

I'm still too hot. I had to get dressed in case I needed to evacuate/escape.

 

[editor]

Do you think it might be related to the royal birth?

 

[quimcunx]

Prince Damien?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Prince Damien?

I said on the other thread there would be lightning and thunder when Damien arrived. It was a bit late though

 

[Badgers]

Epic thunder and hail last night

 

[Ms T]

It woke us up and we had to shut the windows!

 

[Dexter Deadwood]

I was also woken approx 01.30 hrs. Very heavy downpour, had to shut windows. The best storm this year.

 

[teuchter]

Why is everyone calling it "epic"?

It lasted for about two minutes.

 

[pissflaps]

i didn't hear anything.

then again, i do live in Guam.

 

[Onket]

Why is everyone calling it "epic"?

It lasted for about two minutes.

Because that's the word that everyone must use on the internets.

 

[pissflaps]

you can at least spell it correctly

" 3p1( "

 

[Dexter Deadwood]

Council employee currently revving up leaf blowing machine and making an unnecessary fucking racket be advised; I'm about to come and get your toy and dismantle it.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Why is everyone calling it "epic"?

It lasted for about two minutes.

I didn't. I didn't call it awesome either. Nobody did. Maybe epic's replaced awesome. Considering how cool it made it feel, nobody called it cool either.

Unlikely he's reading this thread, tbf.

 

[Dexter Deadwood]

Unlikely he's reading this thread, tbf.

Yeah, you are probably correct but it made me feel a bit less murderous.

 

[Manter]
