Where is it?
 

Okay all week they've said on the weather forecast and on the web that today we were going to get thunderstorms and lightening and rain. Well where is it?

I took a raincoat to work with me because I'm always getting caught out - I walked back into Haslingden feeling like an idiot carrying it! And I wasnt the only one who had took a coat to work with me.

Are we not going to have any thunderstorms etc? Decided to bypass us after Sunday? It's been hotter than ever here.

Re: Where is it?
 

Can you not hear it? :D Just off out now to have a nosey at it :D

I hope its a good one :)

Re: Where is it?
 

I cant hear nothing. I got the windows open but there are lorries and cars driving past.

Re: Where is it?
 

I can hear it but it is still some way away yet. I reckon that if it doesn't bypass Accy, we'll get it within 30-40 minutes..:D

Re: Where is it?
 

Well apparently so I've been told, Rawtenstall made the news at 10, with flash flooding. Waterfoot, stacksteads and bacup also suffered from flloding, basements were flooded, wheelie bins were floating down roads.
Here, all we've had is god having a tantrum, throwing things about, bit of lightning and ...................drizzle.

Re: Where is it?
 

spitting in clayton now

Re: Where is it?
 

Haslingden Cricket Club got it - they were flooded!

Can hear the rumblings of thunder now. Not as many cars and lorries on the road now.

Now do I shut my windows?

Re: Where is it?
 

? 'Aint reached me yet, Bert, bone dry and expect you are probably only a few hundred yards away. :confused: Can hear the rumbling of course.

Have you noticed how sounds carry in this type of weather ...can hear night shifts, people talking, cars on the M65 which you never hear in 'normal' conditions. Know probably scientific, but eerie at times.

Re: Where is it?
 

Had my dose of thunder and lightning and got in afore it hit. Only asted 15 mins so it could be classed as a shower I suppose. :(

Re: Where is it?
 

Well it is spitting at the moment, and the thunder is rumbling, but it isn't as bad as the other day. I really hope it doesn't by-pass us.:rolleyes:

Re: Where is it?
 

The rumbling is Tinks tum.

Re: Where is it?
 

Just been for a nosey after BBc weather predictions from haslingden was spot on 1st rumble just after 7pm, so well done bbc!!:D

Altho after all the hype of bad storms predicted today its looking very poo at the moment not at all like the brilliance of sunday & that caught a lot of people out.

Please please get better dear storm & do a proper storming norman here :D

Re: Where is it?
 

PMSL!! Your actually right so I'm going to have a couple of chicken crisp butties lol :D

Well if that was the storm ..... I'm disappointed :(

Re: Where is it?
 

The storm will be 24-36 hours after consumption. ;):D

Re: Where is it?
 

Just been for a picnic up Grane Rd reservoir and the thunder started whilst we were there, then it started spitting. The heavens opened just AFTER we got in the car - phew!

Re: Where is it?
 

It hasnt rained here yet Gayle and i'm not that far away from Grane! Must be something to do with the hills. But then again isn't there a saying the sun always shines on the righteous! lol

Re: Where is it?

Re: Where is it?

Re: Where is it?
 

It rained torrentially in Ossy at around six pm. Driving to Accy a short time after by the time I got to Antley the roads were dry and people were still in shorts, unlike my neighbours who were liked drowned rats hurriedly getting in their washing and jumping massive puddles.

Re: Where is it?
 

PMSL! Don't put ideas in my head he's wearing it ;) :D

Re: Where is it?
 

You've not dropped your dog end down your cleavage again have you?:D

Re: Where is it?

Re: Where is it?
 

PMSL!!!!!!!! too much temptation then lol:D

Re: Where is it?
 

Hadn't thought of that! :rolleyes: Hang on, I'll just check in my socks :D

Re: Where is it?
 

Whats betting that i'll get so knackered just about fall asleep & then it will start:rolleyes:

Re: Where is it?
 

:( I know weird.:confused:


....and I'm such a little ray of sunshine.:hothothot :35: :e12: :D

Re: Where is it?
 

It rained here all day by the looks, it was raining when I left but didn't get to colchester or anywhere near, but was still raing when I got back, so it must have been really slow moving rain clouds.

That electric blip could have been lightning a few miles away, or some idiot electrocuting themselves. my pc reset the other day and the lights dimmed.
Although it could mean the cable in the road is going. The cable here burned out, although some say it was my fault and I overpowered it with christmas lights, I'm stll denying it.

Re: Where is it?
 

It’s another hot, humid night up here. No sign of Thunder, lighting or anything resembling rain. Last night was very uncomfortable and tonight shaping up to be the same. I’m thinking of getting the mossy net out and sleeping out side if this continues.

Re: Where is it?
 

hmmm, if you leave your windows open all evening till you go bed, do you end up with a room full of green fly, knats, moths and god knows what flying around ? I was thinking of bying some netting from our new crappy aldi store but I can't see how that works, I wouldn't be able to close the window with it on, I'd have to keep taking it off. Id buy an insectacuter but pete said thats cruel, I'm not allowed to kill insects.

Re: Where is it?
 

Well im gutted not a single flash apparently wales got it last night according to metcheck & no forecasts for anymore unless it wants to sneak a few here lol:D Altho we are set to have the hot weather back next week once it cools tommorow - according to metcheck.

Re: Where is it?
 

My Mum said it lashed it down in Ossy,huge raindrops! yet here in sunbaked Accy it remained dry with the odd rumble of thunder! Very odd how these things can be so localised!

Re: Where is it?
 

Re: Where is it?
 

Had two here in the last two hours. I left the windows open and got puddles. It was cascading down the stairs like niagra falls.

Re: Where is it?
 

With the weather being as predictable as North Korea It would be safer to bring it in.
