Thunder and lightning.

[whatho]

Electricity! In the sky! What does this MEAN?

Probably it means I should turn the computer off lest it explode. My friend in Australia told me that. She always turns her computer off during electrical storms. Mind you, she does have a burn mark on her living room carpet from when an errant part of an electrical storm jumped into her house, which I think is frankly quite rude. This one is rumbling quietly away in the distance. Probably now it'll come racing over going HAHA and teaching me for being lax about the power of the electric storm.

My father once said he saw lightning bolts bouncing off wet tarmac. Was he fibbing?

I think so.

It means you should find a good window and ADMIRE. Thunder and lightning!

He said it to me when I was about nine and believed more or less anything. I might ask again and see if he fails to remember it entirely.

The lightning was proper streaky forkful lightning! It was great really. It made the sky quite purple. I'm a bit fond of lighting. I saw great lightning in India once where I was on the southern edge of a mountain range and could see pretty much all the sky it was possible to see, and about ten bolts struck altogether in a long line. It was ridiculously exciting.

Hee! We got lots of lightning too! Yay!

I was dubious about lightning and computers until fiatincantatum's laptop got slightly fried during a thunder storm when I didn't turn it off omg.

I turned the computer off when the count got down to two elephants. I mean seconds. The thunder is resting at present. I keep thinking it's gone altogether then it rumbles again to remind me it hasn't quite gone away. Boo to it. But the shiny lightning is great fun really.

I expect he wasn't lying, I think that can happen, or it can effectively look like that or something, yes, that is something I think I have heard.

Lightning not for in the house oh.

I shall ask him again. He could've just been deranged rather than lying. If he's telling the truth, he has seen Wonders veritably.

Lightning in houses in wrong and bad and probably the work of sorcerers.
