Yeah

I was hanging out the clothes and thinking if it would rain as forecasted and then heard the thunder rumble but it sounded far off in the direction of the irish sea, so on instinct and gut feeling i have taken the chance and left my jocks n socks hung out.

JimmyFloyd

It just started lashing rain here

Luckily for you it's a good night for wet jocks and socks!

A bit of rain was factored in. A little shower was all that was.

Run_to_da_hills

Its all gone. :mad:

Overheal

Happens every few days here. Still great to get in a car and drive behind a storm, just to watch the lightning strikes.

Spastafarian

It's still going off in Dun Leary.. Dun Laogry... Dun...
Dammit I'm going to have to learn how spell this place soon.

whatduck

That one sounded closer and I could have swore I just saw a flash, in Ayrfield.

JimmyFloyd

Wait, it's back

And it's getting closer and closer

ironictoaster

Nehaxak

I was down making a cup of tea and saw a flash out the corner of my eye, I honestly thought some weirdo was outside taking pics of me in the window in my boxers. So, I picked up a hurley, opened the door, heard the thunder and quietly walked back inside slightly embarrassed. I do have a nice bottom though so I was justified, if a little paranoid.

Run_to_da_hills

Its back with vengance

And the heavens just opened too........

I was studying in Spain last year and there was Thunderstorms like this!

We had just gotten home from a club and i was twisted!

Next morning i had a cold.

My flatmates told me that i an out into the rain and storm in my boxers and was dancing around.

They'd be some really funny memories if i could remember.... :mad:
