Storm!

[5Cats]

I love storms! Mmmm, lightning!
However, the last big storm, a couple weeks ago, roared through here with 110 kph winds & caused enormous damage.
Last night, this storm rolled through with mild winds and LOTS of lightning!
I love storms!






Well, that's my evening!

I love lightning storms. It just sucks when people get hit by it. A couple of people were killed out here in CA the other day. I think they were Boy Scouts, or their leaders. I remember being told not to stand next to a tree during lightning storms, but what if you're in a forest?

EDIT: Found a link CNN

It was a leader and a kid.

Wait...there's a town called "Gimli" up there...? What the eff...? [img]wink.gif[/img]

Yes, Gimli, used to be called New Iceland I think. There were tons of Icelanders who came here about 100 years ago & settled in the interlake region. They've been getting pounded with storms all summer.

That brown spec next to Winnipeg. Is that you?

Naw, that's mud left over from the last flood.
I'm in the north-west of Winnipeg's dot. If you squit real hard, perhaps you can see my orange-trimmed house...
