peasepud 59 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I've been sitting on the balcony watching it, at one stage I counted 8 actual bolts of forked lightining within my view in the space of a minute. The big block of flats in Shieldfield has been struck twice that I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 18044 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 It was so humid on the metro it was unbelievable. Then when I got off at Tynemouth, at about 6.10 it was pitch black with the street lights on. I had no option but to walk home without a jacket. But getting pissed on didn't bother me too much - I was convinced I was going to get struck by lightning! There were bolts flying off left, right and centre! You know when you hear thunder immediately after the flash, and it actually sounds like the sky is being torn apart, before there's a huge boom? Well, I experienced about 10 of them in two minutes. The nearest struck a house about 100 feet away. I was temporarily blinded and my ears popped. I was just shitting myself waiting for my hair to stand on end, which is apparently the last thing you feel before you're fried. I now need to change my underwear as well as all my outer clothes. Wierd as well. When I got back home, virtually everything that needs electromagnetic radiation wasn't working - Sky, the radio, my mobile, my wireless LAN, the internet or my land line. Now the lightning's receding everything's come back on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
