Anyone in a thunderstorm?

RandomTom · 15 May 2009 at 20:36

I've got the window open, listening to the really deep and loudly cracking thunder, the sky has a perculiar tint of yellow to it's dark brooding clouds, and lightning sheets erupt every 5 or so seconds.

Lovely weather.

I wish, just rain in Bristol.

I heard it too a couple of times. Though it's stopped now.

Had a few rumbles here earlier, although the sky now looks like there may be a few more to come later.

Question: Is it still recommended to turn off your computer when in a lightening storm?

None here but we generally get crap thunder storms anyways.

RandomTom · 15 May 2009 at 20:39

One of the loudest rumbles I've probably ever heard literally just happened with a massive fork of lightning just a few houses in the distance to follow.

Was up here in Bradford.

Yep we had a thunderstorm not long ago. The thunder was almost deafening... :cool:

Edit: I'm in South Yorkshire

Very loud rumbles indeed, enough to rattle the windows, made my 2 year old son jump and run over to me for comfort.

Heavy rain but no thunder or lightening here (Liverpool).

Me and the other half took the weekend off hoping to do summery things.

I brief one, but nothing to major. Was in work at the time though.

So, according to Sod's Law it's your fault the weather is pretty much borked.

edit: just realised the OP is in Leeds lol.

Yup, I heard that! Gave me quite a shock actually.

jak731 · 15 May 2009 at 20:56

Quite a bit in leeds atm.

alexakasloth · 15 May 2009 at 21:02

A bit of drizzle but that's it.

spleenharvester · 15 May 2009 at 21:12

For some reason, I actually prefer the rain, not when it's really darn heavy though

Just dark down here, has been sunny all day.

millsy888 · 15 May 2009 at 21:13

Really dark cloud cover here now. Hope there isn't a storm, the last one killed one of my hard drives
