Did we have a storm last night?

Still raining, with liberating freshness, here FC (well, it is if you are standing outside - probably not if you are indoors ... or worse - atop a duvet/mattress tossing and turning!)

 

Sleep easy, FC.

If it's any help (at all!) when I was heavily pregnant with my youngest son (an August baby) I spent, practically, the final month of my pregnancy sleeping on a sun lounger, parked by an open patio door, because the heat was so debilitating and sleep so desperately needed!

Maybe pull your chair nearer to those open French doors and have a bit more success at sleep?

 

We had a thunderstorm here last night. I only knew about it because Timmy (dog who is terrified of thunder) shot into the bedroom and landed on my head Then I heard the rumble of thunder but went back to sleep.

I had watered everything yesterday evening but not as deeply as normal cos I knew water was on its way.

 

Im not a million miles away from you & we got a burst of heavy rain but no thunder / lightning last night.. its also really coming down as I type this (but then, you probably know that!)

Havent been out to check for damage yet.

 

Quite a big thunder and lightening storm around here about 3am . I got up to turn the computer off - I have had a monitor burnt out in a previous storm a few years back .
A big storm , but not overhead where the thunder crack makes you jump . It was Molly's first thunder storm , didn't bother her at all , she just rolled over to have her tummy tickled
PS: Molly is our Cocker not Mrs H

 

I'm not happy with the rain NOW as I have a load of stuff to get on with. It should only rain overnight.
But the damage yesterday morning indicates a fair bit of wind Thursday night?

That's perfect - bits out and all that and I sleep like a log. I hate being covered up.

 

Same here @longk , I need to fit a new pond pump this morning , and the rain radar shows lots on its way. I know I'll just get everything set up round the job and the heavens will open !

 

I got a load of firewood from a building site yesterday. It needs cutting in half before it will go into the cellar or through the house to the garden.

 

Thunder & Lightning most of the night, discovered you can see the flash with your eyes shut.

 

No storm here 'yet' but just starting to rain (of course it is,it's my weekend off) and I've a Eucalyptus tree to chop down ,looks like I'll be getting wetwhy does this happen when there's loads to be getting on with

 

Leave it till after the lightning, you'll know if it's been hit as there will be dead Koala Bears around the trunk.

 

Strange how things happen ... last Sunday we woke up to find two trees flattened .... one in the woodland and one up by the waterfall. None of could recall any sort of wind during the night .... but SOMETHING had to have happened. Maybe a small localised TYPHOON

 

Started thundering and lightning here about 2.30 this morning, it was like a tropical storm here, and its still raining and I've loads of job's to do outside.
Forecast is for a storm again here about 14.00 this afternoon.

 

No storm here last night. I was driving home at 1am and the sky was clear, the car thermometer was reading 16C and it was so humid. However today's a different kettle of fish, woke to fog and it's been drizzling since. A storm is promised but I can't see that materialising at present.
