Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I can make it rain. I have two sure fire ways which never fail 1. Hang washing out under a clear blue sky and then go out for the day. 2. Get your hair looking just as you would like it to and then go out without an umbrella. I have a fool-proof way of making it rain - promise your children a BBQ for tea......

Guest Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 It's foggy and cold here as well, although the sun is clearly trying to break through. We had a scorcher yesterday, yet chookiehubbie says that Edinburgh had thunderstorms and teeming rain all day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 It was lovely and sunny here in Birmingham when I got up (late!) at 6.30am. But now the clouds have rolled in It's the first day of my two week holiday so I hope the weather perks up! edit: forgot to add it is 10 degrees and quite fresh!

Louise Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 You mean you didn't get the thunder last night Shona I had a river running inside the conservatory it was coming down that hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Crikey! I love night-time thunder storms. Were the cats all on your bed Louise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 No it was evening about 7/8pm Clare the cats were all sleeping in the conservatory while I went round unplugging everything (lived in a house that got stuck once) and I am very paranoid now until it happens to you most people have no idea how much damage a thunder strike does I am also terrified of thunder and lightning I knew it was coming and drove like a demon to make sure I was in the house before it struck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 You mean you didn't get the thunder last night Shona I had a river running inside the conservatory it was coming down that hard Really?? Honestly, it was lovely here all day, and I had to go find the boys to bring them in for bed at 9:15pm, as the weather was lovely so they were up at the park with their friends.

Louise Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 It rained all evening but for about an hour there was thunder it was right overhead at one point the cats were sleeping and I was the one hiding under the table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Lucky you got back in time to unplug everything. My folks neighbour was struck once when I was at home - Their house was very badly damamged - most of my folks sockets were blown out and some of the appliances were fried. I jumped out of my skin and nearly died of heart failure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 It rained all evening but for about an hour there was thunder it was right overhead at one point the cats were sleeping and I was the one hiding under the table Despite loving storms, I have to admit to being concerned when it's right overhead. After the thunderbolt just missed my folks place, I could taste my fillings for days afterwards. Good job I don't have a pacemaker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 There was a large hole in the roof, one of the roof joists was damaged, the chimney needed repointing and most of the electrical items and all phones in the house were fried the only room not affected was the kitchen. The count was: 3 TV's 2 VCR's 1 Computer 1 Printer Boiler controller Lizard cage Thermometer Alarm system needed completely rewiring 3 telephones Total cost about 8K and this was 10 years ago It was the whole inconvenience of everything being broken at once as well There were roof tiles all the way up the top of the 70ft long garden too After the event we noticed the car had been chipped too but it was too late by then to claim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Insurance paid for everything apart from the car The loss adjuster cam round and all of the equipment was piled in the living room he just signed the sheet I think he could see we weren't trying to pull a fast one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
