Is anyone else getting thunderstorms near them? Was really hot and sunny yesterday but right now is pissing with with rain outside very strong winds loud thunder and flashes of lightening. Gotta feel sorry for my neaighbour cus he isn't home at the moment and his washing is hanging up do "dry" in the garden :rolleyes:

ooh yes its brill. we've just had one now, and i'm expecting some more so i might have to turn off the computer :(
i love thunderstorms, though we hardly ever get them here. :D

the day before yesterday it started storming. it was just sheet lightning and the thunder was just a low rumble, so im guessing the actual storm was either a really shit one, or it was far away somewhere else.

i saw on newsround (there was nothing else on!) that some guy was killed the other night because he was struck by lightning, and a couple of girls were also injured because they were struck too...scary stuff. especially for me...i kack myself when it storms usually :p

yay i love thunderstorms.

it was really bad here the other day and i was at work on the phone to my mum and there was a powercut it was awesome everyone screamed and i just laughed! unfortunately the power came back on after 5 minutes i was hoping it would have been off for a day or so so i could have gone home lol!
*starts singing*

rain rain come here now
come here please today

i suck i would never make a good artist!

Yeah, we've been getting thunderstorms in Liverpool too, every night for three days on the run now. Are thunder storms happening all over England now? I am sensing a 'Day After Tomorrow' scene happening soon. I call dibs on getting Jake Gyllenhaal! ;)

BLAH!!! It's not been warm enough up here to get storms!!! Sucks maximus!!! However has been pissing it down up here everynight for the last week!! Just lacking the thunder and lightning!! I love Thunder Storms :D

They had really bad storms in west london the other day, lots of floods, underground stations and roads had to be closed. One girl got struck by lightening and was in a critical condition :(

I live in East London and it's been absoutely fine here (watchit pour with rain now lol).

OMG!!! OMG!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!
THUNDER and...............LIGHTNING!!!!
I'm so0o0o0o0o excited!!!! :D :D :D *tires self out*

We here in Liverpool had some amazing thunder earlier on today. It was really, and I mean really loud! Storms rock! \m/(-.-)\m/

I just hope it rains before I go to sleep, I love to fall asleep listening to the rain.

We had thunder yesterday, and the air has been really close and humid since Saturday. Mmm summer weather, I LOVE STORMS!!!!!!!!

amy la calabazita

I'm getting one right fricking now!!!!!!!!! I'm so0o0o excited!!! *wheezes* :D

I love storms!!!
This is the first storm I've had at home since May :( :D

Did any see when they were watching the storm on Big Brother teh other day? That was cool. I like teh storms as well although i hope it isn't raining on saturday or ima get work cus i'm working and i work outside with no shelter :( although i hope it aint baking hot either bah bloody weather :p

Ho...ly... shit. That's all I can say.

I went out loads today, it was warm as fuck. Then I went to my friend's house before we went down town for the night. As soon as we left his house, it started proper pissing it down with rain, and then we saw lightning and I was like "shiiiiiit, let's go get shelter quick!"

Anyway, me and my friend ended up legging it while the others just walked at a normal pace. It's amazing how wet they were when they finally caught up to this pub we went in.

But, yeah, the rain caught us at a pretty good time. Damnit.

UK rainstorms. Heh. Come to Memphis. We get severe thunderstorms EVERY FUCKIN' DAY.

Is that a bad thing because you're scared, or just plain bored of seeing them?

It's really weird, because over here in Swansea, the weather is really hot but really humid, and we've only had the one storm so far. Apparently the weather is supposed to be crap tomorrow. At least for the moment we're actually getting some SUMMER weather!!

I can't remember. Are storms supposed to be a depression or the other thing? Damn, I used to be so good at weather things... :rolleyes:

I think we need some rain because its been so hot these past few days the only good thing about sunny days is we can have ice cream!! :D

bah, you get all the cool storms while i´m burning on holiday in spain! will be home in about a week though... gotta love english weather!

there was a really bad storm here like 2 weeks ago and we were freaking each other out saying the "the day after tomoorow" was coming true!!! wait did i post this alredy or did i just think it (dumb moment!!!)

we had a storm 2 days ago and we're waiting for another!!! i like storms as long as i dont have to go outside!!!!! if i do i shit myself!!!!! waaaaaaaaaa!

Rain pissed down today i think it stopped for an hour about lunch time but that was it. Weren't a storm just heavy rain think its still going not sure though cus its dark and i can't be bothered to go out and check :rolleyes:

I heard on the radio tonight that it was the hottest night in London last night. We're getting loads of rain and the hottest weather, it's ridiculous.

Yeah it doesn't make any sense. Sunday night was baking. The weather is actually really sunny here at the moment

it pissed down before, and me and my sister were stranded down town :( but then it cleared up and now its boiling hot, the sun is out and i'm sweating :(

Was at football tonight and it stayed sunny until it got dark but was still very warm no sign of any rain even at 11

I'm fed up of the rain!!!! Its been raining for 5 days non-stop! and its not the usual light rain...we're gettting the tail-end of a hurricane that hit the US
I wanna go outside!!!! Stupid fecking rain....

we had a well bad sorm here last night! the lightening was awesome! and yesterday the thunder was so loud i thought the sky was falling down! hehe! i didn't like it! if i was indoors it woiuld be ok but i was at the busstop! waaaaa!

oh same here too! was in the early hours of the morning, lightning flashing through my curtains, woke my mum and sister up too hehe.

edit - omg, as soon as i hit post reply, i heard thunder! here we go again! :D

that happens to me as well! we get lots of rolling thunder, you know, where it thunders non-stop. its cool :p

yeah, and then we got lightning again... i tell you, after hardly seeing a cloud abroad on hols, it's a welcome change... especially as i'm not wet out in the rain!

oh i love these storms!! i just wish it would be stormy when i got home from work not after work when im trying to get to my car and the car park is ages away :(

it should start thundering in about an hour....ive noticed it starts at the same time nearly everyday woohoo!

the storms have been quite crap over here recently. yesterday i thought something really big was brewing up because everything went dark and it was windy blah blah blah, but then the blue skies came back and i could see a big black cloud in the distance which would ocassionally be lit up by lightning. thats probably the storm you guys were in. i generally hate storms but man... IF YOUR GONNA GET ALL DARK N FREAKY YOU MIGHT ASWELL GIVE US SOME REAL STORM :rolleyes:

just thought i'd add, i read somewhere that anyone with asthma is more at risk of having an asthma attack now, because the storms are breaking the pollen down and making it easier to inhale or something. my sisters friend died last week of a severe asthma attack and it couldve been prevented if he had known this. :(

omg that is some freaky shit i have asthma but im not prone to attacks i just have an inhaler to help me walk long distances and stuff or if i run. fingers crossed i dont have one.

thats really sad Mindy about your sisters friend send my regards :)

thats really sad Mindy about your sisters friend send my regards :) i think it is only dangerous for people with bad cases of asthma but dont quote me on that. if you are still scared just look it up, and check ways of preventing attacks. i think allergy medication helps, but again dont quote me on that :p

just found this (http://www.health24.com/news/Asthma/1-892,28063.asp)


Asthma (http://www.health24.com/news/Asthma/1-892.asp)
Why thunderstorms trigger asthma17/6/2004Since the air always seems fresher after a thunderstorm, ever wonder why some people with asthma find their conditions get worse, not better?

In high-profile examples, there were notably larger numbers of asthma attacks after 1987 storms in Melbourne, Australia, and 1994 storms in London. A report in the International Archives of Allergy and Immunology explains the relationship.

Grass pollen is a common allergen that can trigger hay fever and asthma attacks. But grass pollen granules themselves are usually too large to find their way deep into the lungs, which could cause an even more severe attack. But when they are exposed to water, the pollen grains break up. And when this happens, each pollen granule releases as many as 700 starch particles. These particles contain the real allergen, and they're small enough to work their way deep into the lungs. – (HealthDayNews) thanks for the kind regards Diane :) im sure she'll appreciate them.

eep! damn, poor guy! :(

when i was small (dunno how old, don't remember it at all though, so probably very young) i had pneumonia and my left lung collapsed, i had asthma for years, had to have an inhaler as well. i stopped using it around the first few years of junior school, still have it though i think so i hope i'll be ok *just incase* !

that's really sad! i have hay fever now when i never used to! it gets really bad sometimes! now i know why! bloody weather!!!

awwww poor chris!!!! ouch a collapsed lung!!!

my dog was so scared of the storm last night she yakked everywhere! poor thing!!!!!!! she really hates storms and fireworks! fireworks should be banned all the time apart from on 5th november!

thanks for the sympathy kirsty, i don't really remember it though as i said. apparently i kept turning the machine beside me off, you know with the oxygen thing? oops... kids, eh? it had to be moved out of reach hehe.

oh, also, we were going on hols a few years ago, the car was towing the caravan, and it jacknifed! the car and caravan got a few dents but my family of five came away without a scratch thank god! hmm let's see if there's any other near death experiences i've had! :o

thender and lightning, so very very very frightning
me and my mum went to the salon and as we got out it absolutely pissed it down. we had to run the car as fast as we could home cus the washing was out and we got home to late and everyting was absolutely pissed through. so anyway we pulled in the drive way i ran out the car, unlocked the door and ran in and my mum was trapped cus it started hail stoning and the hail stoning got worse and the stones turned into pebble size! she eventually got in and she was shook up cus she was scared to death. the rain was that bad that when you went off the pavement it went over your shoe cus i live on a coldy-sac and it all joined up at the bottom. thats the worst storm we had. i do enjoy em tho.

Aaaaah the British "Summer"... if this is summer I can't wait for winter! Hell, I might go spend it in Paris instead.

amy la calabazita

no storm tonight. i want a refund!

ps: the winter rocks. especially when it's dark in the morning and no one's awake!

and with the christmas tree, decorations, etc up it's even better (was better as a child though ofc). and in the winter, you can wear warm clothes to stay warm, but i get too hot even in a t-shirt and shorts in the summer!

i guess i'm not to keen on the summer atm, the rain doesn't help either!

edit - it just started raining now... i did it again :D

no storm tonight. i want a refund!


same here! we havent had one for a couple of days now :(

i prefer it when it's not sunny then i can wear long sleves!!! wearing short sleves gets me on trouble!!!

I love winter, dark mornings, dark evenings, my birthday and Christmas to boot! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
