Thunderstorms

Currently in the middle of a decent little storm here. Bucket loads of rain, loud thunder and some decent lightning bolts as well.

I was trying to get a photograph on my camera, but I'm useless and tired at the moment, so I'll just use my eyes to watch it all instead :p
 
I was chatting to some IT support guys in Dublin yesterday who said they were on a tornado warning - thought they might be joking. Evidently not!

Just had an OK storm here in Surrey - woo hoo! At last! :)
Many years back I remember feeling my hair standing on end just before a lightening strike. I knew it was close because the sound of thunder was instant. After all those years I've just Googled, it and hair standing on end is a very very bad thing!
 
having a few in the Midlands over the last week or so.

I absolutely love them, one must have struck about half a mile or so from where I live because it shook the house and nearly made me go deaf!
 
We were promised some good storms over the last few weeks but all we ended up with was a few rumbles of thunder and the odd flash of lightening. Pretty dissapointing :(

Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria fera) - (pictured) According to the Guinness Book of Records it has the most active neurotoxic venom in the world. Just 0.006mg is enough to kill a mouse. If you're lucky enough to survive then a bite can cause extreme pain for days, including a painful erection which can lead to impotence.
:eek:

Worst erection ever.

Edit - oops wrong thread. But I don't care.
