What am I on? I can't see the numbers on my phone.
SquishyKitty and friends will kill me if I don't post it on the Geelong board!

Loving this - got the curtains open, the window open. The other half has taken off to the lounge room as he prefers air conditioning so I have bed to self - perfect night

I guess this is what the kids and I must've looked like tonight....

Lost power at about 10:30 last night. Idiot neighbours also left their dog outside and it was going nuts whenever there was thunder or lightning.

It is just one of life's magnificent simple pleasures - especially when it is dirty big streak lightening.

I leave my dog outside.
He runs in and sleeps in front of my car... and trembles...

Looks like some poor soul has lost their life out at the Galleria

Workman working a power transformer outside Woolies.

There was loads and loads of sheet lightning, but the forked lightning seemed to be always out the corner of my eye
I know you're not meant to stand near a window during a thunderstorm, so I lay back on my daughter's bed and we watched it together for half an hour or so. Can't believe we all got front seats! Wish I'd sat out in the hammock for a couple of hours- would've been like sitting right up on the stage!

Yeah, I was just reading that. Reports of several people running out with their clothes alight Bloody terribly sad for all involved.
So it wasn't a lightning strike as first supposed?

[WCErevival]

I'm surprised by the amount of people last night standing outside watching it. Could have had a Darwin awards nomination

lol. Low IQ couple. You'd think they'd close the windows maybe? Or go elsewhere? pfft! No sympathy for any of them, apart from the bloke's poor wife. At least she knows now what a rat he is.

Maybe it was, details are sketchy as this point.

Did they have umbrellas up?

 

[Teriyakicat]

You wouldn't want to be blamed for something like that, would you? I'd be hoping it was a lightning strike.

Surely there is more footage available somewhere...

I did a similar thing in an electrical storm at our beach house in Gippsland . We opened the glass doors, turned the lights off and put the chairs on the front deck. Had a few beers and danced with my young daughter - just magic. Beautiful balmy night

Apparently he was working on a transformer so I don't think it was a lightning bolt. Perhaps one hit during the storm and overcharged it so when he went to use it, it exploded.

 

[Shane Hird]

Imagine all the freaked out shoppers who thought it might've been a terrorist bomb blast at the time.

Poor bugger!

Anyone who thinks that dogs should always be outside regardless is not a person I would trust with regards to advice on owning dogs to say the least. Know a few friends with this mindset.
