1. where are you?

We're getting thunder and lightning in Seattle but I've still got teevee...

[BlooInBloo]

3. I know! I LOVE this kinda weather!!! \o/

It means I get to *finally* take home my peacoat that's been hanging up at work for the last 3 months.

[hisownpetard]

8. I love this kind of weather, too, but not during the Democratic Convention. DAMN!!!!!!!!

I live on Cape Cod. The wind is fierce, and my 3 dogs are barking back at the thunder
like they're saying, "I'll meet you, and raise you one!"

[BlooInBloo]

12. Oooh - yah. Puppies hate this kind of weather.

[hisownpetard]

18. My two little ones are climbing up my neck, reminding me that I should've taken them in

to get their NAILS CLIPPED...

and the old guy is just sitting at the glass doors, howling his head off.

9. D'ya think Pat Robertson is behind this s**t? nt

[BlooInBloo]

13. I think there's no other reasonable possibility.

2. get to the panic room and fire up the generator and backup satellite system

or, if you have it, go listen to satellite radio in your car

14. I'm not sure I'd want to be in my car....

during a lightning storm.

[NightWatcher]

19. something about it being a Farraday Box. the rubber tires will insulate you

[hisownpetard]

20. They actually said on the public service announcement that, if you can hear the thunder, you're

close enough to be hit by the lightning and you should not stay in your car.
They said to go to a room on the inside of any building, away from windows.

The Cavalry rides to 'petard's rescue - from both coasts, no less.

11. thats just the kind of friends we are!

[hisownpetard]

16. Thank you both! Gonna have to turn off my computer in a second, though - the last time

we had a storm like this, it burned out my airport(s) and cost me over $200.00 to replace them.

DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!!!!

[TomInTib]

5. Maybe this will help.

Tough deal about the Weather.

Maybe you should move to California, live in the redwoods.

6. Thunder and lightning in Seattle, the timing is NOT good

In a short time I need to take a bus home, then cross over a creek. Not exactly what I want to do in a thunderstorm.

[BlooInBloo]

17. Doh! I'm just taking a bus to the bar to watch football.

[AllieB]

10. Me too-on Cape Cod

I see you're in Mass. ;-)

Crazy weather here tonight.

[hisownpetard]

15. Flash flooding warnings, too. Are you somewhere safe?

[hisownpetard]

21. If you're in transit and want to come to my house till the storm passes, lemme know and I'll PM you

directions.

[AllieB]

22. I'm on high ground in Wellfleet, and the storm has seemed to pass.

Thankfully! There was a pretty loud one around 5 PM today also.

Thanks for the offer! :-)
