If you live downstairs then yes, there is a good chance of that

Tell me about it -_-

We have 1 tiny thunderstorm over the weekend, and the first calls i get on monday are "After the thunderstorm, our phones dont work"

Oh, i work for a telecoms company that supply phone systems and VPN + Ip Telephony solutions to businesses

Bah it finally kicked off down here at about 5am.

The first flash woke me a fraction of a second before the boom and the car alarms.

45min later I was asleep again

atleast you got some, ive seen nowt

Further on the lightning strike saga above, my sisters house in Hants got struck whilst she was away this week - her housemate was sitting at the computer at the time => pouff!  Her dsl router is now borked also (3 days out of warranty! - well see just how much pressure Plusnet CS can withstand now   ).

The moral is - disconnect your gear from the phone and the mains during a thunderstorm folks

Very loud rolling thunder and a lot of blue skys as I speak, last night the storms were very bad a house not far from here  got hit.

Cant remember it raining last night here, can hear the odd bit of thunder and its looked like rain all evening but we still waiting.

It pissed down at 4pm today, I left my sunroof open and windows down, my car is soaked, my kids did try but being all electric, they could not do it.

Its going off here right now but the flashes are too inconsistant for my to photograph

I have seen a couple of corkers out over the sea though
