Where is it?
 

Okay all week they've said on the weather forecast and on the web that today we were going to get thunderstorms and lightening and rain. Well where is it?

I took a raincoat to work with me because I'm always getting caught out - I walked back into Haslingden feeling like an idiot carrying it! And I wasnt the only one who had took a coat to work with me.

Are we not going to have any thunderstorms etc? Decided to bypass us after Sunday? It's been hotter than ever here.

Can you not hear it? :D Just off out now to have a nosey at it :D

I hope its a good one :)

Re: Where is it?
 

I cant hear nothing. I got the windows open but there are lorries and cars driving past.

Re: Where is it?
 

I can hear it but it is still some way away yet. I reckon that if it doesn't bypass Accy, we'll get it within 30-40 minutes..:D

Well apparently so I've been told, Rawtenstall made the news at 10, with flash flooding. Waterfoot, stacksteads and bacup also suffered from flloding, basements were flooded, wheelie bins were floating down roads.
Here, all we've had is god having a tantrum, throwing things about, bit of lightning and ...................drizzle.

Haslingden Cricket Club got it - they were flooded!

Can hear the rumblings of thunder now. Not as many cars and lorries on the road now.

Now do I shut my windows?

? 'Aint reached me yet, Bert, bone dry and expect you are probably only a few hundred yards away. :confused: Can hear the rumbling of course.

Have you noticed how sounds carry in this type of weather ...can hear night shifts, people talking, cars on the M65 which you never hear in 'normal' conditions. Know probably scientific, but eerie at times.

Had my dose of thunder and lightning and got in afore it hit. Only asted 15 mins so it could be classed as a shower I suppose. :(

Re: Where is it?
 

Well it is spitting at the moment, and the thunder is rumbling, but it isn't as bad as the other day. I really hope it doesn't by-pass us.:rolleyes:

Re: Where is it?
 

The rumbling is Tinks tum.
