Thunderstorms & Lightening

[Fish]

We've had some serious thunder storms & lightening since late last night. Loudest I've heard for many years, if at all. Powerful blasts of rain will also mean flash flooding!

My dog Max has been terrified all night, so not had much sleep as I sat up with him calming him down between 2am and 5am and then just as I thought it was finished and he looked OK, it started again, even louder!

He won't even go for a walk this morning, got to the front drive and just sat down, that speaks volumes

Have you had it yet, if not, its coming your way....

6.am this morning.
Not seen rain like it for a long while.
Looking on the bright side, it means i don't have to go round watering the garden this morning. :thup: :lol:

Started at 4am and carried on for ages. Water currently off and power cuts too - the joys of country living!

My Max and also David slept through most of it!!

I love storms - from the safety of indoors though. Waiting for a 9am course inspection but today's greensomes looking dodgy...

 

[Hobbit]

Not had owt here yet.

Nothing here yet, rain forecast for around midday and a fair bit tomorrow.

It's our Seniors' Section outing to Buchanan Castle GC tomorrow, obviously there was no way the dry spell could continue for a couple of more days. :angry:

 

[AmandaJR]

Course closed til 1pm but not sure if that's health and safety or ground conditions!

Weather woke me up at about 5am in, not so, sunny Stoke.

Still having thunder and lightening 4 hours later. Raining pretty heavy too.

I left sunny Inverness this morning, flying into manchester, straight into the pissing rain

 

[GreiginFife]

Very very frightening...

That is all.

 

[pokerjoke]

2am till 2.30 as has been said the loudest ever.
Heavy rain for half hour too.
All gone this morning,hopefully it will give the grass some colour.

BIIIIIG (or should that be loud - Big sounds better) thunderclaps just started overhead right now. Waiting for the deluge...

 

[Rooter]

Nowt here, the odd little rumble, a few spots of rain and thats it. think the temp has dropped about 10 degrees, so its on its way, but bored of waiting,,,

 

[Imurg]

A few spots per square mile so not even a shower yet......

Gorn - silence - and no rain - maybe it was the neighbours dragging their empty wheely bin up the drive.

 

[Crow]

Bit of rain and thunder, nothing to write home about.

 

[Khamelion]

Very very frightening...

Had to be done

Nowt here in Newcastle yet, heard one small clap of thunder while on the course this moring then a few spots of rain, but bar that nowt. I dare say when it comes it will come BIG as it is very humid and muggy outside and temp is around 25 degrees.

Is there an eclipse today? No? Guess I'm just about to experience some quite heavy rain then

 

[virtuocity]

Amazing how dark it went around 10am Stevie.

I was hoping to get some putting and chipping practice in but it looks like the range for me.

Wasn't it? Golf free day today, going to give my clubs, including grips, a good scrub ready for tomorrow.

got weirdly dark in Glasgow, offices without lights were full of faces illuminated by PC screens..........

I'm desperate to get on the course but wandering around a field with a set of lightning conductors is too risky today.....maybe
