MASSIVE STORM

[deird_lj]

1) Really scary when, while driving home, you start figuring out possible strategies for when if your car gets struck by lightning. Because there's lightning everywhere.

2) Really annoying when, while driving home in increasingly huge amounts of rain, you suddenly remember that you left one of the windows open so that you could air out the recently-vacated spare bedroom, and there's probably water pouring into your house…

3) Really freaky doing the last bit of the drive home at 20 kph, with the windscreen wipers on full blast, because you just can't SEE.

4) Really worrying spending a lot of the drive home trying to figure out whether or not you got struck by lightning while getting into your car - because, on the one hand, still upright/alive/burn-free, but on the other hand, there was a big static shock and now your skin's all tingly...
Pretty sure I didn't, though. I think.

5) Really REALLY cute when you finally get home, seeing the little black-furred person who shares your house huddled underneath the coffee table trying to get away from the scary weather.

A car is actually the very best place to be in the event of a lightning strike. It forms a perfect Faraday Cage.

Just realised it's finally quietened down out there a bit.
Horrified to hear you were trying to drive in it.

Oh - I'm with Elf - storms are best from deep within the house...

Glad that you got home in one piece.

Omigod, that's so scary! *freaks out*

I'm so glad that you're okay. And hopefully the open window didn't do too much damage?

What do you do if your car gets hit by lightning while driving? Geesh, that'd be terrible...

We saw pictures of the bad weather on TV. Glad that you got through it and home safely.

Happy New Year!!

That sounds terrifying. So glad you're fine.

If it's raining where you are, you won't get struck by lightning :-)
