My dad used to say that it was god moving his furniture and we'd be guessing what it was .. his throne, his bed, sideboard etc....

Hope so, we could do with a right good storm to clear the air. It is so humid.

You shouldn't really be using computers (or most electronic appliances) during a lightening storm, even if it's not immediately over you. The power surge if a bolt hits somewhere along the leccy supply chain may be enough to damage sensitive stuff like PCs.

All computers should go through a serge protector anyway
all my PCs and laptops go through Big Belkin serge protectors

Think the best lightening storm I ever witnessed was in 1975 when I was working in Carlisle, it was a really warm night and we were all sat outside the hotel with a pint, as you do, and it started lightening, both sheet and forked it was lighting up the road like it was daylight, lasted for around 20 minutes, but it never rained
