We always run out into a good down poor, ( mind with our water boiler on going problem we may even try showering in the next one :-)  stomp arourd and cheer. I love the rain and a good thunder storm.

The year Bosycastle in Cornwall happend we were 2 miles doen from there and yes it did rain hard, we were camping at the time, the next day we could not understand why every one was calling round to see if we were ok. it wasen't till we saw a tv , much later, we knew what had happend and realised we'de been very lucky. Some caravcans had been washed away up above and below us.

Wow, glad there was not any damage and you were all safe. Great pictures, that would have been exciting but I would have been hiding inside if there was lightning! Have a good weekend, Kellz, Lynette xx

Hi Kellz

Wow love the photos, I'd be really stressed if that was my house, we've had quite a lot of rain here recently and I only had a small leak, nothing major, but I am quite lucky because we are on the top of a hill so most of the water goes down.  I love all the thunder and lighting stuff I find it really exciting, don't like the damage it causes though, lol.

That is what I call rain! Not that damp light drizzly stuff that comes down for hours and hours and even days and weeks. I'm used to desert weather, it's all or it's nothing. It's either bone dry or we are riding the waves down the street on ... the lids of styrofoam boxes or whatever other things we could find that would float. hehehe. I don't think I've ever seen a real surfboard here. LOL Summer storms are the best cause it's not too cold to go out and play in them.

I love a good thunder and lightning storm,especially the lightning I like pulling back rhe curtains and lying in bed watching it. But it is awful when the houses get flooded I wouldn't be so keen if that ever happened to me.

It's fun to get out in the rain when it's not freezing, isn't it? We did this just last week at our house too! Granted, heavy rain like that is common here, so I figure it's good the kids think it's fun. Once hurricane season starts it's raining all the time, so they need to be used to it!

I love storms too, but only during the day. It's not much fun driving in it either. At least the kids liked it too.

I love storms too, we have a role reversal here as its me that loves the storms and my daughter that is frightened by them LOL

Hope there was no damage done to your property

I love a good storm, it clears the air. I love the smell when it has been hot and it rains, wet pavements and fresh ozone, lovely!

glad you enjoyed the storms. i personnally am afraid of thunder especially when it sounds like the" ground is ready to open up "

cheers annie

we love storms too.

I love storms. But Connor will run and hide. I love to be standing out in them. glad nothing too serious in the water level.

Hi, last June we had torrential floods where we live.Six months rain fell in 2 days and it was terrrible.One person died because of an overflow drain that was blocked with a gate.He went down the drain to try and remove the gate that was preventing the rain drain away and got trapped.Fire rescue and paramedics tried to release him but were unable to do so and sadly he drowned.Peoples lives were devasated and many had to leave their homes and live in caravans on their front gardens or yards.A lot of people are still in the caravans now nearly a year on.My brothers house was flooded and everything downstairs had to be replaced-walls,electrics,floorboards etc.It has devestated many peoples lives here and continues to do so.Hope everything ok for you,Lisa xx
