Did someone say thunder and lightening, very very frightening?

Dave! · 2008-06-26 09:34:44

Anyone in South Dublin seeing this weather?!?!? :eek: Out of nowhere: the heaviest rain I've seen in years, a load of thunder, and a bit of lightening!!! A car alarm just started going off outside! Crazy sh*t

Yeah it's mad big yoke of fork lightning just went off right over the house followed by an immediate bang. It's lashing now!

Was only thinking last night while watching the football how we're due a thunderstorm - there was a whopper one in Vienna which screwed up the TV feed, you could see it in full swing when the BBC panelists were talking afterwards.

Didn't see any lightning over here (Stephen's Green), but the Thunder was pretty loud. Makes me feel better about being stuck in an office tbh.

seriously we don't get proper thunder storms over here at all. When i was in the states in april the weather channel was showing huge thunder storms in the mid-west in places like kansas etc where there was golf ball sized hailstones which broke car windows etc :eek:

i saw an amazing thunder and lightning display in orlando a few years ago funnily enough in the month of june. The lightning just kept flashing without a break, it was otherworldly

Just stand near a bunch of chemicals so that in the event that they're struck by lightning, you'll become the Flash.
