Storm

This storm is so beautiful to listen to form bed. It’s phenomenal! At first I thought the lightening was something blown in my house, scary!

Pitta patta rain drops x

I had the lights briefly flicker off twice when the thunderstorm started going - no idea where the lightning hit but it was a good few seconds before the thunder roll so i'm surprised it affected my power.

My router blew up so did my nextdoor neighbours. We are up in the rhondda and there was an almighty bang and a flash. The reports of people's Internet routers blown this morning was crazy.

It's the first thuderstorm my young ginger cat has experienced and he came meowing into my room most upset at the sky gods having an argument aww. Some comfort stroking and a bowl of food made it all better haha.

It blew my router up and many other residents equipment around our area. We are unable to connect untill we get sent new equipment and engineer visits. Running on a very unstable phone network at the moment is frustrating.

Couldn’t believe it. Love lightning but I’ve never had it strike so close. Took out the whole streets power for a bit

u/Money_Sell7516 2d ago

Really! I thought maybe I’d just not seen lightening in a while but bedroom doors and curtains shut and felt like a camera had gone off in here! Or a fuse blown. Wild

u/Hot_Presence_4087 2d ago

Just drove through Llandaff over the river bridge and the water was bubbling up from all the man hole covers, and the road is a barely visible . It was chaos out there for a while .

What storm??

u/Money_Sell7516 1d ago

It was crazy around midnight, the brightest lightening known to man and rolling thunder

It was weirdly comforting last night

u/Louiethelurcher 1d ago

Completely slept through it in Lisvane! Shame as I do like a good storm.

u/DemonEatsLion 2d ago

I'm loving it. But that thunder just scared me so bad I'm clenched up like a 200 year old bottle of wine
