storm behaviour?

I have been told that you should always unplug the tv and the aerial from the tv so that if lightening hits the aerial on the roof your tv and you will be safe :eek:
 
Brings me to mind of a simular brill storm cashman, where in the world do you expect stormy weather - say America, well not a sausage of one other than electrical storms there but on the plane coming back home - pilot warns us all to expect severe turbulance but not to panic as we are flying thro the centre of a storm [as with the conditions the safest option] you will never guess where this bl**dy spectacular from the middle of the clouds this storm was?????

.................. whilst approaching the coast of England!!!!!!!!

was scary but ace watching lightening strike just below the plane going to ground proper forks the works!:D
 
The other most specatular no doubt never see again was ball lightening no more than 20ft away from my house on a field at the back - gee you want to hear the thunder of that b*gger lets say it was like a bomb going off & the house shook!!
 
I always know there's a thunder storm coming as I get a strange sort of headache along with a nose bleed. I love watching them but always feel the need to be outside& like Basher It is one of my ambitions to go storm chasing in America.
When we were kids all grown ups used to open front and back doors and unplug everything I never bother but then I only have one door!
 
When we were kids the doors and windows were opened ,and the tele switched off..
Now i love the door open to watch..
When we lived in Burnley we were right at the summit and got some fantastic views over crown point
 
i wonder what would happen (if this theory is true!) if you opend the front door but not the back, would the lightning come in the front door and get to the back, and stand there looking confused saying what the f**ks goin on here like?

hee hee that made me smile :D karma on its way
 
My Nana used to open front and back door to let the thunder roll through. She would also turn the TV off and unplug everything.
I love a good thunderstorm but get bad headaches. Even when I was little I used to love being out in it splodging in the puddles in mi little red wellies.
When the children were little I would tell them not to be afraid coz it was only god moving his furniture around.
 
didn,t just turn the telly off , they used to take the ariel socket out so if lightning struck on the roof ariel it couldnt travel down and wreck the telly.
 
As there is the "alledged" climate change happening I wonder if we will get a better class of thunderstorm. When the lightning is around I think of it as nature haveing an artistic moment. Watching the steaks of fork lightening gives me a sense of awe. I to would chase storms if I could just for the thrill of the chase and the lovely lightning.
 
Well what a storm we've just had, absolutely brill :D

Fantastic sets of double lightening forks & pronged lightening strikes!!! Least this one lasted a while & much better than any tv & we have such a great view :D
