I like watching the lightning.  My dad used to take me to the cliff tops to watch the thunder out at sea in the channel - fab!!

I'm on board with notion of lightning being a sight to see.

Except when my softball team wants to play through a storm hitting with aluminum bats.

I found out I moved down to Florida in the middle of the rainy season.... and see I didn't even know Florida had a rainy reason. Either way, we get thunderstorms roughly once a day with that cool lighning that hits in one spot and then spiderwebs across the sky for almost a minute... it's quite a sight.

We don't get any really cool weather over here - a flash of fork lightning is about as good as it gets!!

I saw a proper thunderstorm in Toronto once - striking the CN tower repeatedly and making the lights flash on and off - it was great


We dont get tornados here either - I would love to have a "safe" encounter with one of those - a bit life and death though.......


There was on in Frampton Cotterell once - about 6 feet wide but still took a roof off a pub!

Hey I really want to see a tornado too.  I love watching those dodgy weather programs about them and volcanos too - they are coo-ell.

No way KT. It's for slow and lazy men who want to drink beer and hit the hell out of a few balls!

Link.

Hmm, never say that when I lived in Toronto Stead, wish I had!

I have seen a few twisters off in the distance before, odd looking buggers... Nothing like the one that blew my ex-girlfriends college house to St. Paul, Mn, 3 1/2 hours from where it was originally located!

I'm with you Vic.  Nothing better than standing on the edge of a cliff watching a storm approach from out at sea, feeling the air crackle with expectation, waiting for the rain to start lashing down, watching the sky get increasingly oppressive; it being so dark it's like the middle of the night, the deep throated rumble of the thunder, the lightning so spectacular...

Holy Moly - Sue went into full "Author" mode their - with the vivid descriptions and atmosphere building etc......


Nate - It was October in Toronto on that fateful night - nobody seemed that bothered about it so I thought it was normal - ?

Apologies for the enthusiasm, chaps - My old geography teacher would have been very proud.  That kinda thing just does something to me.  Don't get me started on volcanoes with snow capped peaks or the destructive power of the sea!

Is it?  I thought I commented on excessive use of commas on a regular basis.

I guess it does happen Stead. Here's a nice shot/info of the phenomenon.

I personally have never seen it, but it does strike me as the world's largest:

1) phallic symbol
2) lightning rod
