Re: Storms
Our threatened storm has just arrived!The wind has dropped - all the birds have vanished from the garden - and the air pressure is painful! My head aches and I feel sick, the cats are prowling like tigers in the hall - away from the windows. Am signing off for now - have a peaceful night!

Re: Storms
We were informed by our local Weather person on Look East that we'd have a a day of showers or heavy rain with thunderstorms in-between.By 13:00, with the sun out and temperatures rising I thought Sod this! and went out in the garden!
We were out there until 17:00 and I got quite a lot done - and it didn't rain once!
I find it rather odd that in these days of Hi-tech Weather prediction, nobody, not even the flippin' Met Office seem capable of getting the forecast even close on many, many occasions and, as we British tend to plan our lives around our climate, it b*****s-up your whole day - if you let it!
Got tomorrow sorted and I really don't care what they say the weather's going to do!
Fire and Brimstone, Plagues of Locusts, whatever!
Bring it on!
We're going for a run to the Garden Centre tomorrow morning and have a nice breakfast - just for the craic!!! stevmk2

Re: Storms
Hi Mups we've had the odd thunderstorm as we're not prone to them but that said, we've had two routers fried on our computer (not visibly but they were shot/kaput), so...yes we'll always unplug any computer 'stuff'. We're at the end of a road & were told that is the worst for power surge buildup.19-07-2014, 10:25 PM

Whoops sorry about the double post!
