We have our fair share of lightning. Closest I can remember I was to a lightning event was the hair on my head standing up.

I blame the EU for this bad weather, we need to vote OUT and take back control of our own weather.

Too true Stephen, it's little known part of the Common Fisheries Policy. They send over their filthy foreign rain to mess up our rivers, so we have to fish the carefully prepared stillwaters for filt

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

You like that do you? The butter with the big crystals of sea salt in it? For once I am right with you Dave, Definitely yummy.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Really close. Could you feel heat on exposed skin?

Cory,

 

I'll get me feet wet and get in trouble (cause I really don't know). I think cloud to ground lightning is really ground to cloud. That what I've been taught since I was a lad. Many a time, especially in the milk barn, we could feel the heat and smell the lightning. When your hair stands up or in Chesters1's case his ears you have actually been struck by lightning. Just not the main column. I was told, "don't worry you won't see the one that gets ya".

 

Maybe?

Kind of Correct, although I understand how it works this explains it:

Strike survivors have reported feeling themselves charge up moments before being hit.

If during a storm you get that tingly feeling, hit the deck and roll away as fast as possible, you may get lucky and not get hit.

Different floats for different folks!
