dbigtex56 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Had some localized flooding yesterday morning, because apparently my neighbors have better things to do than remove all the dead leaves their live oaks have shed over the past couple of months. Those leaves do a very efficient job of clogging storm drains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 "Over 8,000 Lightning Strikes within the last......."I didn't pay attention, but I heard the first part on the news. I feel like I'm at a club with so many flashing lights, be them wreckers or lightning bolts. Its really cool to see the clouds at night (even if for a brief second).

TheNiche Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Has anyone noticed the quality of lightning looks different...? It seems more brilliant (brighter, whiter, closer) lately.Am I just imagining it?Yeah, I'm not sure why, but the color of lightning can vary. I saw some with a slight purple tint yesterday evening and have seen lightning that was slightly pink and even green in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems more brilliant (brighter, whiter, closer) lately.Am I just imagining it?I have yet to be close enough to see lightning actually strike the ground.Even from afar, it always seems that lightning is always just that, far away.Has anyone on here seen lightning make contact with the ground before?

Subdude Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I haven't seen lightning strike the ground, but once I saw lightning strike a transformer on a utility pole almost directly in front of my car. The transformer box exploded in sparks. That was something to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
