To hate thunder and lightning

[CharlesLeeRay]

We have it quite bad here, I hate it and can't sleep!

Lucky I am in the north west near the coast and it is bypassing is as usual. Just getting odd rumble and flash. Problem is I hate it and I am on a night shift in a dark room while the person I look after sleeps. Hope it carries on bypassing

Its here... my dog is losing her shit

You can all join my cat crouching in terror behind the loo.

North west here, and it's pounding with rain and fork lightning, uite close, but not worryingly so.
I don't know why people consider snuggling in bed safe
If it hits your house you need to be lucky to miss it.

My aunties house was hit, it took one side of the house down and melted/moulded all the plumbing. Had she been in the kitchen or downstairs loo she'd have been killed.

Chakano are you getting lightning but not much in the way of thunder. There is a bright flash and I brace myself for the thunder but it either does not come or is very soft

There is more forecast for weekend and I am in the bloody tent at a festival with the car about a mile away. Any surviving in a tent tips?

I'm in the North West and just hoping it doesn't wake my dd! The lightning is quite spectacular to watch here, it's lighting up the skies!

Woke up to what I thought was the security light going on and off. Turned out it was constant lightning but no thunder. Really weird as it was in all directions.
Has a few rumbles now but mainly just constant flashes.

Cant sleep now, not a fan anyway but with dh away with work as well I'm unsettled. Lights on, cup of tea and mn for a bit.

Us too Want2727!!

Odd grumble here in the NE , air very thick

I am in hospital in the midlands with my little one and I was asleep eventually after the nurses moving beds and furniture around and making a right racket earlier so I woke thinking they were moving the biggest piece of furniture in Christendom. I was a tad bewildered !
It is v heavy rain here and thunder and lightning like I haven't seen in a long while. All the kids on the ward have managed to just sleep through it all.

It's here! ⚡

Im terrified of thunder. Really terrified, it controls my life in the summer. I hate being like this. It's pathetic in my 40s :(

Awful here right now, woken up with it and now can't sleep!
Pouring down and massive lightning show and cracking thunder

It’s woken me up, and torrential rain.

Worst storm I've seen, our building has been hit by lightening so currently no electricity and also flooded somehow

Just woken up here (York).

It's mad. Doesn't seem to be killing the heat though.

I'm following it on lightningmaps.org - cool seeing the dots flash up the strikes and it shows you the edge of each soundwave so you can wait for the rumble of thunder to arrive.

Bloody hate thunder.

I'm terrified. Trembling like a leaf on the sofa. Hope the DCs don't wake up so I have to be brave.

It woke me up at 3am, been downstairs since then. Very loud in Yorkshire!

Been masses of thunder and lightening and pouring down in the NE for the last hour.
I have 1 twin in bed with me, worried the other will wake and the horrible realisation I had expected to go out again yesterday so left all the windows down on my car, which will now be swimming!!!!!

I was shut out in a bad storm when i was eight years old, I'm 54 now and still scared of it.

Ooh I love big weather. We had a spectacular lightening storm earlier but the bangs weren't very loud.
We go on cruises and I bloody love stormy weather. There is nothing more exhiting than the power of nature. We are off to Iceland next year and I'm hoping for some big Atlantic waves.

I'm in a tent in the north east. We've just packed everything up. The tent was looking ready to go.

I really need a wee but am not walking to the loo in this.

I'm now up 2 hours early for work...but the storm was well worth it! Never really experienced a dry storm before. Lightning every 5 seconds or so for an hour...loved it! In N Hertfordshire
