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!

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.

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

It was the coolest storm I have ever experienced - really loud thunder, fork lightening and sheet lightening for about 90mins

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

Now that is what you call a storm
