Snipped emoticon because if it needs explaining, it ain't funny or you are dealing with colonials -in which case it is off topic. LOL, well Broad Smile at least. Since Glowballs depends on satellemetry, it aught to be called glowball-warmongering now that they can only use satellites for peaceful purposes. |

But they all fit. June the 2nd 1998; 01:45, like a glove: 30th June 2007 13:49. From AOL: More stormy weather is in the forecast a day after parts of Britain were hit by torrential rain, lightning and hail. Meanwhile, hundreds of people already forced from their homes by last week's devastating floods were told it would take another three or four days to pump the water away. Rush-hour commuters had to make their way home through hail storms as thunder and lightning swept across southern counties of England. Two teenagers were taken to hospital with serious burns after being struck by lightning |

A decent storm, yes, but since when was thunder and hail in SE England in early July considered a "freak" event? For longer than I've been alive. Journalistically, all thunderstorms are Freak Storms. At one place I worked in the 70's my colleagues, on seeing it get a bit gloomy outside and knowing my interest in the weather, would dig up the laboratory catchphrase "Freak Storm, Mr Hughes?" There were also Freak Heatwaves (not many) and Freak Snowfall (rather more). A turbulent decade. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. |

This made me laugh when I read it this morning:- From Samuel Pepys' diary, Sunday 3rd July, 1664... "Then up and spent the evening walking with my wife talking, and it thundering and lightning all the evening, and this yeare have had the most of thunder and lightning they say of any in man's memory, and so it is, it seems, in France and everywhere else. So to prayers and to bed." |

"MichaelJP" This made me laugh when I read it this morning:- From Samuel Pepys' diary, Sunday 3rd July, 1664... "Then up and spent the evening walking with my wife talking, and it thundering and lightning all the evening, and this yeare have had the most of thunder and lightning they say of any in man's memory, and so it is, it seems, in France and everywhere else. So to prayers and to bed." And, IIRC, there followed in the next year or two, an outbreak of plague and the great Fire of London. (But don't tell the media ......) - Tom. |
