Lightening and Thunder - any hear it?

[dothawkes31]

Up here in Preston we had the loudest thunder I have EVER heard, it was right over head, the lightening flash was not even a second before the thunder and it was so loud it made me cower and it was terrifying, it was about 4am then 6am, I though the first one was something hitting the house! Really frightening.

That was Bobbis Bill falling over.

[ummmm]

After being stuck out in the sun for 5 days solid as soon as we heard the rain we got up and went and sat in the garden...lovely.

No thunder though.

I actually really like thunderstorms!! Not sure if we had one last night, but the rain woke me up. Can't have been too pleasant outside because there were 4 cats on the bed this morning!!

Think we could be in for a storm later. It's gone really muggy and the wind has got up. There are some quite threatening looking clouds moving over too.

All the other mums in playground this morning were saying "My God, did you hear the storm last night?", I was like "errr, what storm?" When I'm asleep, im like someone dead, and I didn't hear a thing.

I once had a bird who got well turned on by having sex during a thunderstorm (we were inside, not out in the thunderstorm!)

Was it a lark or a nightingale joe?

B00 this was really really like a plane crahsing into the street! It must have been impressive cos my son got up and asked me if I was ok!!! It unnerved him I think lol

Boo - that reminds me of the earthquake we got in Lincolnshire about 18 months or so ago, maybe 2 years ago. It woke me up - frightened me witless - the house shook and the noise was indescribable.
At the time my daughter and stepson were living with me - both of them slept through the entire event and thought I was joking the next morning when I asked them if they'd heard it.....

[ummmm]

That was Feb 08 Salla....I was sleeping at the hospital with my Dad when it happened. It was a Monday.

Slept through both earthquakes....evenb though housemates mum was thrown out of bed by it and she only lived a few mins away....so disappointed when I heard as experiencing and earthquake is on my bucket list
