Re: storm behaviour?
Living in South Queensland like TBS, and just like most in this thread I too love to watch the spectacular storms and lightning that can be quite common in summer. However, my habit of going outside to watch the lightning has been curtailed somewhat. Last year I was just about to go outside to watch that nights storm when all of a sudden my house got hit by one hell of a bolt. The bang and flash were simultanious. I had never heard a bang that loud. my eardrums were 'singing' for about one hour afterwards. Thank goodness I wasn't hanging onto the door. House being steel framed and steel roof. It must have hit the sky tv dish. It ruined the set top box and my DVD. but not the telly. It came down the phone line and ruined my phone and computer but not the monitor. As a result I have not been able to go out and watch anymore. I stay inside and watch from the comfort of a chair and gaze throught the window instead It was one hell of a fright
