Big thunderstorm coming my way.....

Thank you! We only caught the edge of it so it wasn't too bad. It's been raining on and off all day. Which I'm quite pleased about cos it means I don't need to water the garden! LOL!
This is the first rain we've had in over 3 weeks, which is very unusual for where I live.

Thanks, Komnena. Luckily I've got a roof over my head (unlike some poor souls) so I wasn't worried about myself. More about my modem and computer getting zapped!
Whacko, I too love a good thunderstorm and have been known to stand out in the pelting warm rain. But that one did seem pretty close....

Thunderstorms, on the ground, are pretty safe. What to do is count the time between the lightning flashes and the rumble of the thunder. As sound travels about 330 metres a second, you can work out how far away the storm is.
But upstairs?
I was on a flight once, caught between two thunderstorms. We're used to bouncing up and down in an airyplane, right? But this was up, down and side to side. I tell you, it was that bad I even thought about going back to church. After a shower and an extra dose of Persil in the washing.
I've been on a couple of flights since then, but never again.
I don't know, so much of the world to annoy and it's a couple of weeks journey without flying. And there's bloody icebergs too!
May as well renew the Discovery Channel subscription.
