I have been looking at this website. Really like learning and watching thunderstorms. Some people will think its sad but it kind of floats my boat.

Anyone else into this stuff?

i like chasing bees..........

i used to be in merchant navy & the lightening storms you see at sea are amazing, as there is no land mass to get in the way you can see the storm travelling its path.

Now I like that, I'll have to work out how to use the site, Lightening storms are my favourite thig of all time. Thanks for the link

Yes.. living on hilltop in hong kong watching sheets of rain coming up the valley and wash right over you....

I love to watch lightning, I can sit at the window for hours just waiting.
But my wife hates it.

good for business

I use isleofwightweather.co.uk alot for various bits. But then it is only accross the water from me!

Hmm...

A nice little program to monitor the lightning

Geoff,

DAM!

I have been watching a nice size storm tonight which was heading my way from southend way. By the time it got over from the edge of suffolk to norfolk border is lost it strenth and went.

Anyone know why? How does a storm grow and how is it made?

Really like to know how it all works.
