Thunder Storm

[sam86]

HOLY SHIT! We just had the biggest flash of lightning here in Southwick. Was looking at my TV which is infront of my windows, it blinded me for .5 a second. I think it HIT something real close, possibly the Windmill Pub. It caused my fire alarm to go off. The lights to flicker. The Windmill Pub is currently in darkness, and there is a loud alarm going off, possibly from the Windmill. That was the biggest flash I have ever seen. f***ing scary.

Alarm has gone off. 2 Fire Engines near by.

Third fire engine has pulled up outside the Windmill and firemen have entered the pub. Quick cheeky pint? I'm not so sure.

Shouldn't be over for long, another line is getting close (with about 3 others behind it, although those are weaker).

You need wind to clear humidity not rain.

Firemen have looked round the pub and have now left. Lights have come back on. I can confirm the pub did get struck by lightning but is now open for business.

Blimey.

I'm right near the Fire Station along the road and that often gets struck by lightning (the tower thing).

SW13 was hit by a torrential downpour. I went for a stroll with one of my flatmates, dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. Mainly to enjoy the scenes that could only, really, be marvelled at from the outside.

Rain like this would make it feel less humid/muggy, even if the actual humidity doesn't drop significantly (it could even go up). Storms = rain, which cools the air, so it can hold less moisture, and thus it feels less humid.

So, is there another one on its way?

Yes, the rain heading in at the moment (within the next 30mins) is currently off the scale for its intensity...

got back from Kayaking and hour ago on Southwater Lake. Torrential downpour came as we were off the water and putting the kayaks back ontop of a minibus, however as there was no ladder attached to said minibus, yours truly had to stand in the rain to hold onto the ladder.

Not happy
