zrealist Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hi guys, After fishing at the entrance on Saturday I drove back to Sydney. It was absolutely pouring down the whole way and got much worse when I got closer to Sydney. I could not see the markings on the road at one stage. Did anyone else get caught up in the storm?

mrmoshe Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The storm cell came right over my house and then out to sea. The light show was amazing and even better when it blew out over the ocean. I stood there for about an hour watching the lightning strikes across the sky. I tried to get a picture of it but only managed the last bit of a strike...it turned the whole street into daylight. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have a surge protector on your power board as lightning can do some serious damage to computers. I always turn mine off when electrical storms are near...better to be safe than sorry. Here are some tips on what to do when lightning is around Tips I hope you didn't fry the mother board. Pete.

cat-as-trophy Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 The storm was definately a good one. The sky was a lovely shade of green at one stage. We had a bolt of lightning hit the middle of our street. Thank god there was nobody outside at the time, and it missed the power lines and poles. Blacked everything out for about a minute, but no damage done. The smell of sulpher was really strong outside. By the time Ross and Brett got home it was on again so we sat out on the front steps and watched it all roll past again. Thats what summer days used to be like. Hot during the day and a nice cooling thunder storm in the afternoons. Mrs FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
