Quit hogging them. I haven't seen a proper thunderstorm for years!

You should come live on my mountain.  We had three weeks of blazing hot, perfect weather, about a week of fog (which is fun, since visibility can go down to 5 metres or less) and about a week of completely awesome thunderstorms.  We got fork lightning going across the mountain range, we can see the storm coming up the valley (with the thunder coming up to a minute after the lightning strikes) and it's just fantastic to sit in your room and watch it build up into some epic storming.

3 second count on the last strike. That's about half a mile away.

Yeah.  I don't think we've had any hit our actual mountain yet, though we had one which was very close, going by the volume of the thunder (which made several dozen people fall out of their chairs, and me snort coffee out of my nose at seeing them do it).

That sounds incredible Cain. I'm terribly envious.

After my girlfriend finishes her master's degree in a few years we will be poised to do some traveling.

So stay put in the interim and we'll visit.

Unfortunately, I've only got another 2-5 weeks here, depending on the particulars.  I'll be back visiting frequently though, as a relative has landed a job here, and I can use her flat when she's not there ie; all summer.

I haven't seen lightning from a mountain since I was six. THAT is some heavy shit right there.
Florida storms? More like SNOREida storms AMIRITE?

That shit's awesome. My uncle lives on a big hill in the south of France and I remember the epicness of seeing hundreds of miles light up under sheet lightening.

Over here we've had one weak rumble this year. :argh!: I thought it was my neighbour taking the bins out.

Also if you are in the area Net, I advise skipping right by Geneva and getting into Lausanne.  You can get a train direct from the airport, Lausanne prices are cheaper, it is the party capital of Switzerland with some truly awesome clubs and if you really want to visit Geneva (which is good for a few days) the train runs direct from Lausanne on a near hourly basis, and at a very affordable price.

Yeah, British storms are teh suck.  Even that hurricane which they never shut up about was a let down on that front.

Apparently I'm bringing a hurricane home with me. His name is Colin.

I don't think much will come of it.
It will just barely be touching Bermuda by Sunday.
