Yeah... I'm currently debating whether to unplug my phoneline.

The thunder seems to be getting closer and I don't want to fry my modem! :help:

Just drove back down the A61 about an hour ago from High Green Way and the lightening bolts were incredible.

They werent overhead but seemed to be everywhere.
They were flashing over city, then over to the left, to the right and from behind.


But heard no thunder.

The roads were appaulingly flooded too out past Grenoside. And I still had some nutter rear-ending me to get me to hurry up even though the grip was almost non-existent.

Yes quite a good light show there though not much in the noise stakes. A few loud bangs but it seemed much more electrical and for once I felt the tension in my head that Vidster gets so the pressure must've got through my bonce tonight :D

Doggie didn't like it mind, thought she was going to try digging for Aus at one point! :(

The turf that was laid yesterday on our front, and watered today upon starting to curl is now very very watered! :rolleyes: :D

We're up in the clouds this morning....can only just see the front garden wall. Nice and cool though :)

Enjoyed the show last night though it was mostly cloud lightning, - not much hitting the ground.
