It's been wonderful up the tower recently with all the stormy weather. Huge systems range around the skies, mostly to the north, where lightning has caused a few fires in the next district. Fingers crossed.
Below is the lightning map for the last two days. Apparently, if it gets close to the tower I have to stand on the wooden floor and not touch anything. Methinks I'd be out of there long before lightning arrives for a visit.
I love stormy skies. We had a flash thunderstorm yesterday and got 8mm! I was stoked. But this continuing humidity is unbearable. We should get a SE shift later today which will cool things down.
ReplyDeleteI used to whinge about SE winds because they are onshore and the surf is shit - but after this summer, I vowed never again to complain about one.
Yes, the good old dirty easterly was the bane of my existence when fishing. I sat out on the veranda last night and watched lightning rip around the inlet. I think most of it was out to sea.
DeleteI hadn't thought about lightning up there. Would standing on the wooden floor save you from arcing?
ReplyDeleteI don't know! But I can see storm cells approaching from miles away, so like I wrote, I'd be out of there if it was heading my way.
