We had it here last night, and the thunder was that stuff that starts of far away and moves closer with one boom too... really cool to listen too Kinda like waving a heavy piece of cardboard

The rain here this morning is really heavy when it comes down but at the moment it's sunny outside LOL go figure?

This is the first time in a long time that I've actually felt quite uneasy about the thunder, normally I'm fine.

It took my sky out too.... and I was watching it!

Yup mel thunder and lightening here too

This would definitely have to be the worst winter (weather AND cold wise) we've had in years!!!

Yeah thankfully it seems to have died down...had a few power surges, one it stayed off for a few seconds which was kinda eerie....actually, now that a couple of seconds has passed I'm reversing my opinion on this

Hang in there Kate! lol it is pretty rough out there - we just went and got fish and chips from Terry's on St Aubyn Street and there was a massive pool of water outside their door, lol Am glad that Ivy is enjoying it all!

Poor you! I used to hate thunder and lightening but quite it now - especially if snuggled up in bed. We had a wicked storm when we were tenting in Tauranga once and it was the freakiest thing being in a tent - the whole thing just lit up like a light had been turned on.
Hope it passes for you soon!!]]> Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:23:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19284&PID=444146&title=storms#444146 <![CDATA[Storms... : LOVE thunder and lightning *jealous*...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19284&PID=444139&title=storms#444139 Author: AliaDawn

And the lights just flickered, and if the power goes off (which I think it may) I will have nothing except my cellphone and a torch.

ETA: We get it quite bad as it comes in off the sea, and we're about ooooohhhh....50m from the port??

We're having the mother of all storms here in New Plymouth at the moment. I HATE HATE HATE with a passion, thunder and lightning. With each clap of thunder the house vibrates - I can feel it through my shoes. And each lightning strike shows clearly through the thermal-backed curtains as a stark white light - even though I have the light on inside. My glass bowl on the bookcase rattles, my lighter that is sitting on my study book on the chair next to me even moves with the strength of the thunder. And DF is at his parents and I have no car. ]]> Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:52:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19284&PID=444113&title=storms#444113
