Some visuals on what it's like, leading up to urban #tornado conditions...

The first video was taken about 10 minutes into the initial storm starting. Continuous high cloud #lightening and constant #RollingThunder that vibrates your hole body along with the low growl that never lets up. It continues - non-stop - for over an hour before a single rain drop falls.

Within 5 minutes of light rain, the wind goes from 5-7 mph to 25-ish plus at the edge of the #stormfront, and the deludge starts.

Morning, the #wind is blowing up from the south today, rustling the leaves and small branches on the nearby trees.

In old money, I would say that it's a 3 on the Beaufort scale.

The weather goblins have forecast heavy and slow-moving #thunderstorms from early tomorrow morning and lasting into Monday.

I love #thunder and #lightening.

Meanwhile, here's some more flowers from yesterday.

Enjoy your day wherever you all are. 😊🌸👋

In #kenmore #washington we had a really good downpour of #rain last night. There was #thunder and #lightening too.It's very rare that this happens during mid summer. I've been here for a few years and this is the first time. Back in San Diego we never got rain in summer. But during the rainy season you knew that whatever kind of rain we got, the eastern part of the US would get it like 10 fold. So we would get drenched but Texas Louisiana Oklahoma would get flooding.

Pictured here are gigantic jets shooting up from a thunderstorm last week toward the Himalayan Mountains. The composite image captured four long jets that occurred only minutes apart. Gigantic jets, documented only in this century, are a type of lightning discharge that occurs between some thunderstorms and the Earth's ionosphere high above them. They are an unusual type of lightning that is much different from regular. Courtesy Hans van Boven

Anyone for #tennis?
Dear Friends as we may know.
#Wombledon... eh #Wimbledon, will soon be upon us. Like #Peace. This morning our local tennis #courts in #Furzedown area, were being set up. On Tooting common all the courts were in full swing. Private tennis clubs? Probably #Streatham is the nearest one I am aware of. Anyway after a German breakfast (four pork sausages and sauerkraut) went for a 'morning constitutional' aka promenade...

A
#dinner #plate sized red-eared #terrapin was on the #path, making a break to a #nearby wet area. The conservation people try and restrict this refugee from #amazonian climes. Personally I believe we can be improved, by bringing in the #legendary #sewer #alligators of #NYC to eat some of our #water #quality executives. Which I feel is an apex predator courtesy. 😆

I only brought my black hat and key, so no terrapin photos.

This
#afternoon the weather forecast is #Thunder #Thor and #Lightening and very sunny. Should be fun for #rainbow #seekers.

Enjoying the
#snails, which I have been watching in the garden, rather than relocating. The invasive Spanish slugs will be out in force soon.

#Nature, can not fight it. Must #accept and work with. Anyways... time for me to try and get 'Mumble' working... or something similar for #coms on #Linux.

Have a great day everyone
❤️
