We’ve had two incredibly aggressive thunderstorms passing by yesterday and today.The app the counts how many lightnings we had within thirty minutes jumped up to well over 1000 pretty quick. It also stayed there for well over two hours, both yesterday and today.
We didn’t get that much rain yesterday but nature fixed that pretty well today instead 🙂 🙂 🙂 We had three big power breaks today and one time the fire alarm started to shout, turns out the lightning hit the roof of the factory, No fire but the alarm was rather safe than sorry 🙂 🙂 🙂 I had a package waiting for me, for some reason they placed it in Falköping instead of Gudhem where it should have been. For the longest time I couldn’t decide whether I should pick it up today or tomorrow but it did look like the storm would move on so I decided to pick it up anyway.
It is amazing how fast the weather can change 🙂 🙂 🙂 Suddenly I was at the center of it, lightnings in the air everywhere and suddenly it hit close to the road beside me. Besides the strong light I also could feel the pressure wave from the lightning hit the car and not forgetting the sound. The rain was pouring down so i barely could see the road and at one point if felt like the car was floating when I drove in to a big puddle I couldn’t see because of the rain 🙂 🙂 🙂 The storm has passed by but the Norwegian weather site, the one I trust more, says we’ll get more soon.
Well I won’t need to water the vegetables today and that’s something 🙂 It is time for something to eat and after that watch the European Athletic championships 🙂
Have a great day!

Hi Christer,
One time I drove home late at night through the forest in a storm like that. It got so bad at one point that I had to stop the car and wait out the deluge because the wipers were just making waves across my windshield while not actually clearing away the water. Meanwhile the thunder and lightening was incredible. There was one particularly huge bang and flash that had me ducking inside the car. After that things calmed down and I made it home. The next morning I came out and saw that there was a hole in my windshield up high in the right side corner. I don’t know if the lightening struck the car or if something fell off a tree and poked the hole.
I’m glad you made it home safely.
The weather guys said we might get significant rain today (Wednesday) but no. There’s significant rain all around Massachusetts but just a big cloudy patch over us. The rain is 60 miles out to sea and backing westwards but it’s all going to fall on Maine. The drought continues.
Have a great day.

Hi Caryn!
It wasn’t that bad as You had it and but it came in waves so suddenly there was no rain at all 🙂 but to be honest this was bad enough 🙂 🙂 🙂
I wouldn’t be surprised if the lightning actually hit our car since there was a hole!
Thunder here today and we’ll get even more tomorrow and loads of rain they say.
Have a great day!
Christer.
