Bloody hell!!!, within the last couple of minutes, the sky has opened up. It is absolutely pissing it down, I\'m talking biblical proportions here. Rain, hailstone, thunder & lightening..... It\'s all happening outside. I\'m just waiting for a big volcano to appear from out of nowhere.
I can hardly see the houses across the street through the rain, it\'s THAT bad.
Now, a bit of rain doesn\'t bother me, being from Manchester, I\'m used to the stuff. But I honestly can\'t remember anything THIS bad. If it carries on like this, I can\'t see the Commonwealth games events due to be held today, being run with any real success.
I\'m even worried about being on the computer, I once remember reading that if lightening hits the electricity cables outside, it can pass along and enter the household appliances, electrocuting anyone using them.
It had died down a bit whilst I have been typing this, but it\'s kicking off again.
F\'k

I love being inside while it rains. That sense of security is comforting.

Then a tornado sucks up your house and you die! Hahahahahahaha!

I\'ve heard that lightning shocks through computers can send you into the future. In fact, I\'ve been there. And let me tell you what: A world run by Vin Diesel clones is not fun.

I had lightning hit my house a few years back. About 80% of all the appliances plugged in were FRIED!

I could kill for some rain now.

It stopped raining about an hour ago, but the skies are still VERY dark. There are cars going past with their headlights on.
I were a betting man, I would put money on it starting again sometime soon.

I doubt u would get fried.. But it can kill your electrical equipment.. We have surge detectors all over our house.. Every powerplug to the power board itself. But it can\'t always stop problems.. So i tend to turn off my comps during lightening storms. Even my TV\'s depending on how bad they are. I mainly turn this machine off because i\'ve got a phoneline cable plugged too it. Storm may not hit powerlines, but phonelines are another thing. :)

It rains here all the time during the spring but this summer its been raining once every two weeks.
-
Give us some rain, Baltimore has been in a drought since last September.

That\'s a pretty safe bet. You\'re in England! ;)

I\'m going to forget what is rain. I don\'t see it for 5 months or so.
-
We never get heavy rain. Nothing happens here. If it thunders and lightnings when I\'m at work, I get off early :) I wish it would do that today. It\'s so F*CKING HOT!!! :mad:
-
I wish it would rain, it\'s cooler today but still to hot.

I know full well the meaning of rain, trust me.
And as for the lightening, it\'s not a problem in itself, but our next door neighbour has a 50 foot tall oak tree in her front garden. If the lightening hits it, it could well crash into and through our house.

That\'s what it\'s like here. We\'ve had some hot dry days...not as bad as Texas or Arizona but hot enough for me.
-
With all the rain we\'ve had today, it\'s STILL roasting hot outside, even now at almost 10PM.

It\'s monsoon season here, and the day after it rains, my god is it miserable. It can be about 110 with 50-70% humidity. I don\'t even bother walking outside.
Last week we got almost 3 inches of rain in an hour and 45 minutes. Behind my house is desert...and there\'s a few washes and stuff. Of course with all the debris it builds a dam on the chain-link fence, causing my whole yard to fill with water. I have an acre lot, and I\'d say 75% of it was water. But that\'s fine, because now we won\'t get a decent down-pour for 3 years.

That\'s probably what we had yesterday, maybe in a bit less time though.
