Rain, lightning and thunder

[Puce Moment]

Lucky.

[JesusAndYourBush]

Lucky.

It's finished already, a lot of the clouds departed and I'm seeing more blue sky than I've seen all day. And the sun is back out.  Literally a storm in a teacup.

[Puce Moment]

Unlucky.

[Poobum]

Was 5 miles into a 10 mile walk through deepest darkest Derbyshire when the heavens opened up whilst Thor did strike his hammer hard. Was lovely, 5 stars.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Has a storm ever done a poo do you reckon?

Talking point.

[Small Man Big Horse]

It's so fucking warm I wanto smash something.

Looking forward to the thunderstorm winging its way here - set to arrive at 4am. Might stay up.

I feel the same way, I'm sitting next to a fan that's about 20cm away and it's making life bearable but only just. Currently listening to videos of storms and heavy rain on youtube and it's helping a little surprisingly, but dear god I long for the real thing.

[BlodwynPig]

I don't mind the heat anymore. However, the horseflies have been feasting on my gammon flesh

Isn't that what clouds are?

Went out playing golf in my chain mail coat but the only shock I got was that the course was closed due to a Covid-19 outbreak 😂😂😂

The actual joke is that I'm not shocked at all by this, because the members have behaved irresponsibly throughout this period of restrictions.

I believe if you wear chain mail (Or better yet, a suit of armour) on the golf course, it'll act as a Faraday cage and you'll be ok thanks to the... Faraday Cage Effect. (Don't quote me though)

[BlodwynPig]

In the US in 2019, 726 people died from lightning strikes while playing golf

[Fr.Bigley]

Not if you've first thrown a bucket of water on the cunt.

[BlodwynPig]

In the US in 2019, 37 people died from drowning after having a bucket of water thrown on them

When I opened my curtains this morning and saw that it had rained overnight I almost cried with happiness.

Had a mental and literal meltdown yesterday trying to do hours of fiddly data config from my tiny hot tomb of a bedroom, fucking video calls every other hour too so I couldn't even just sit there in my pants swigging a cold Super Bock like I desperately wanted to.

[Cerys]

Still no thunder.  Chucked it down for a bit earlier today, but that was all we got.  Fucksakes.

[bgmnts]

Wales really starting to piss me off with all this sun shit.

The ONE thing I like about living in this shithole is the rain and gloomy weather, its not even delivering on that now.

Edit- starting to buck its ideas up yesterday and tonight. Hope it doesn't stop.

You're in Aber, aren't you? I thought you had some electrics a couple of days ago. Machynlleth had some - maybe it was just to the east of you.

I managed to get some video of intracloud lightning over Cardigan Bay about 10 miles from me on Thursday evening, but that's as close as it came.

[Cerys]

Grumble mumble moan complain.

I'm semi-convinced that thunder and lightning will continue to avoid me right up until the point at which it gets sick of my whinging and toasts someone or something that I love.  If it flattens my tree I'll rip its nipples off.

[Twonty Gostelow]

Snow hates West Wales too.

[bgmnts]

Yet you have about half a dozen words and phrases for it.

Same here in Leeds. Keep watching the storms approach on Lighningmaps.org only for them to give up at Bradford, lose any northward movement in Sheffield or just stop and dump everything on Cumbria. We've had rain (and about 10 seconds of hail) but none of that lovely ozone-producing lightning or pressure release.

All dism and no jism, as they used to say.

[Cerys]

I think we should complain to the management.

Snow hates West Wales too.

We only seem to have a decent snowfall in Aber about once every ten years.  The best I remember was 1995.  Annoying.

[Cerys]

THUNDER! (Oh woah woh woah wooaahh.)

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Thunder and lightning finally in the Northwest. (Oh woah woh woah wooaahh.)

[Mr_Simnock]

GODS RECKONING level of lightning here, non fucking stop for about an hour now.

[Cerys]

Aberystwyth now underwater.  Send in the sharks.

[bgmnts]

Absolutely FUCK ALL rain here, despite the weather as prophecised on Google foretelling me.

Give me rain, cunt.

Just saw the picture of the lightning hitting the Menai straight. Give me some of that!

[idunnosomename]

GODDAMN IT'S SO EXCITING

[bgmnts]

FUCK YEAH CHECK IT!



Looks like god is drinking the irish sea through a celestial straw.

[idunnosomename]

GOD
DAMN

[Hand Solo]

We've had a free lightshow the whole night, trying to watch Fools & Horses and it's been distracting, no thunder at first for ages.. must have been so far away, but now it's approaching slowly and meticulously, we'll be fucked in a few hours so I'm drinking heavily to try and sleep through it.
