dirt dame 559 Posted June 3, 2009 Anybody else experiencing this unseasonal stormy stuff? I have been hearing thunder for over an hour and now it's sprinkling a bit. Wasn't in the forecast. I was planning to go for a ride, but not in the mood to get soaked or electrocuted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted June 3, 2009 I thought that thunder was in the movie I am watching, but I replayed it and it wasn't there. I haven't heard anything since so I thought it was the neighbors dog pushing the garbage cans around. Thats cool it wasn't either one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCHWINN 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Last summer in Yellowstone my wife left me and the boys to go for a walk with the dogs and when she came back she found us up on the roof of the trailer with lounge chairs watching all that summer lightning. Awsome show. She was not happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmayer31 3 Posted June 3, 2009 Strange weather indeed. We had some good size hail come down around the office. Then again I love this type of weather as long as it doesn't hang around much longer than a few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PastaPilot 17 Posted June 3, 2009 I was in La Jolla working on my car. I rolled the car out of the garage to sweep up and no sooner do I get back to the garage hail stones the size of marbles start falling. I run out to the car to get it back in the garage and find that I disconnected the battery the last time I was there. SONUVA... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blind ...looked from inside. A few years back, I was fishing in my little "tin bote" out on Lake Morena. It was kind of late in the summer, so there were afternoon thunderstorms popping up out that way, most afternoons. One came up while I was fishing and I motored for the dock as fast as I could go, then ran to my car, got in it and sat with all the windows rolled up. The storm came right over the lake and a bolt of lightening actually struck a hillside just above the water and started the brush on fire. (The fire dept is not too far away and they came and put it out before it spread.) People who were fishing on the shore line were walking around with their little graphite fishing rods (AKA portable lightening rods) held up, just gawking at the weather. I was surprised that nobody got zapped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerTOWM 0 Posted June 4, 2009 I heard on the radio coming home today that a lady up in the LA area was struck and killed while she was standing under a tree. While I was working today up in Pendleton I saw quite a bit of lighting off to the east. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Phill 0 Posted June 5, 2009 Me and my "new"(actually used) Shadow actually got wet on the 15 yesterday. I really appreciated that jerk in the Toyota following me at 15 feet in the rain. The news story I herd from LA said the woman who was killed had her clothes blown off. :=0 No comment on the state of her body. Trees explode when hit by lightening...had the pleasure of seeing a hit once. Phill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jed 0 Posted June 5, 2009 This is the kind of weather we get in August up here in the mountains! It is sunny up here in Descanso, but when I drive "down the hill" it gets cloudy and sopped in by Alpine. I believe North County has the really odd weather right now.

Trees explode when hit by lightening...had the pleasure of seeing a hit once. Phill The stories that I hear about people that are hit, is that their jewelery and other metal objects will heat up and cause severe burns on them. A guy in a nylon wind suit got hit by lightening and survived, but his suit got so hot that it was blown full of holes and had melted in several places and was melted right to his flesh. There's the story of this one guy who was hit by lightening so many times, that his friends and family wouldn't even be near him during an electrical storm. Roy Sullivan.
