A colleague was late in yesterday, his mother in law's place had been hit by lightning and he had to go over to help clear up. Apparently it wrecked the place; blew out the brickwork around the fire, distorted lots of the plaster on the ceiling, punched a hole in the roof and fried the electrics! :shock:

Our TV ariel got hit by lightning a few years back (odd as we lived at the bottom of a hill then) and it blew the TV up. A loud crack and then the lounge was filled with thick blue smoke.

Nutty dear - you don't need anyone to get you into trouble. You are a past master at that :lol:

Thunderstorms we should be so lucky!!!! Had a cracker on Sunday and thats it. :(

We had the mother of all thunderstorms last sunday afternoon/early evening. It was of biblical proportions and it was like the end of the world was happening :shock: It was the coolest storm I have ever experienced - really loud thunder, fork lightening and sheet lightening for about 90mins :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: The driveway and back garden had about 3 inches of water on it at one point and you could hardly see the end of the street it was raining that hard :twisted: Now that is what you call a storm :twisted: :twisted:
