    It was a bit mental at one stage. Flashes every few seconds. I was outside for a bit and wished I was not!

    Ah no, sure I remember what it used to be like out there when I was small. There was one electrical storm when I was in school and all the kids were under the desks crying, I was in my seat baffled - couldn't for the life of me figure out what was wrong with them!:pac:

    What's that counting thing you do to estimate how far away it is? I counted 14 seconds between lightning and a bang? It's a bit of a putty-tat of a storm - a few flashes, a few mumblings, much a-do about nothing.

    Down in mayo once, in my cousinses house they were all **** scared of thunderstorms (bless the muckers, they don't understand) and my cousins woke me up to tell me there's a storm (I was on my own on the couch) and they were all getting up to go sleep in the same room... I was 18 at the time. One of them was 17.

    Divide the time in seconds by 3 and that's the distance in kilometres to the storm. So 14 seconds = just under 5km
