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.
 
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.

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. :(
 
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:

Just been for a picnic up Grane Rd reservoir and the thunder started whilst we were there, then it started spitting. The heavens opened just AFTER we got in the car - phew!
 
It hasnt rained here yet Gayle and i'm not that far away from Grane! Must be something to do with the hills. But then again isn't there a saying the sun always shines on the righteous! lol
 
Just had a weird experience:eek: its either just lightened a few mins ago or sommats happened cos my screen has flickered on & off intermittantly as did the tv at the same time ..........scary it made me jump lol. Looked outside & nowt :confused:
 
I didn't see owt chick and I'm practically in darkness here. Windows are open, I haven't heard any thunder. (I know its nowt to dop with weather but I can smell fire really bad)

It rained torrentially in Ossy at around six pm. Driving to Accy a short time after by the time I got to Antley the roads were dry and people were still in shorts, unlike my neighbours who were liked drowned rats hurriedly getting in their washing and jumping massive puddles.
