Im afraid for the windows on my house at the moment, its hammering down, thunder and lightning.

The pics taken below was after about 2 mins worth.

I was doing some work at uni today. It was soooo loud! I was too scared to drive all the way up to Whangaparaoa in it so I will wait untill it passes

Mmmmm...thunder and lightening! Inspires me with earthly energies...Absolutely LOVE weather like this!!!

Nothing better than doing the Monkey Jiggle in the rain though...

Myself'n a mate on the 'Shore are trying to triangulate the exact position of a bolt of lightning, using the times between each of us registering the peal of thunder, and the established fast that sound travels at 340m/s.

But I don't think it'll work unless either we find a third person, preferably in West Aucks, or unless one of us can see the flash of lightning as well? *goes back to calculations*

Disclaimer: Yes, we know we are both now geeks. But being able to pinpoint a bolt of lightning would be so totally awesome that frankly, we don't care!

You and me both, I have been known to get up at night to watch really cool storms, sadly I was at work during todays effort, my UPS obviously is not working as the power went out and I lost my entire payroll processing...grrrrrr
