Thick rods of it split the air and you could smell the ozone as it thumped and crackled on and on. Tremendous power.

Not least, with the Periadriatic fault sequence and the Apulian plate rotation and so many complications, have you experienced any tremors lately? As Africa 'swings' north, the Anatolian area is pushing west, who said the Alpine Orogeny has finished?<br /><br />Have a look, this sort of stuff would interest maybe: http://www.zamg.ac.at/cms/de/geophysik/erdbeben/historische-erdbebenRavenscar.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-77265673442603417202017-08-09T09:16:31.341+01:002017-08-09T09:16:31.341+01:00When we first moved here we very quickly learned t...When we first moved here we very quickly learned to unplug the TV, phone lines and the router during thunderstorms.

While there (Lavendou) one day started gloomy with drizzle which then turned to rain, which then developed into a dark green sky with huge lightning bolts and blasts of thunder. We were camping, so we decided to head up into the hills for something to do. We came to a roundabout and my kids were continually pestering me "can we wind the window down Dad?". I relented and let them wind it down just one inch. Just as we stopped at the roundabout, I noticed a telegraph pole to my left; at the same time a bolt of lightning hit it and the resulting explosion was like standing next to a cannon being fired.<br /><br />Have you ever seen little kids trying to wind a window up very quickly? :DPoisonedchalicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877122279794559618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-16379637022583681582017-08-09T08:09:44.202+01:002017-08-09T08:09:44.202+01:00I used to sail deep-sea (oil tankers) and thorough...<br />I used to sail deep-sea (oil tankers) and thoroughly enjoyed the equatorial thunder storms - lying on the poop deck watching the lightning.

At Zell am See we were watching a band playing when the heavens opened and the mother of all thunderstorms started. It was spectacular, but not something you'd want to be out in. Fortunately, the bandstand had a storage area underneath so we crowded into that whilst the worst of it was underway. I remember the thunder rumbling on for hours!<br /><br />I've never seen a storm like it since.DeeDee99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06753473473887381622noreply@blogger.com
