tamthebam Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 That's over 90 minutes of lightning in the Capital, more entertaining than an Edinburgh derby anyway. A couple of ten minute cloudbursts have saved me having to water the garden tomorrow. Best storm I can remember, at least since I was very little in the hot summer of1976. It's certainly European in scale. Arthur's Seat is taking most of the hits (Hiya Kenneth! Hiya pal!). I wish I was Victor Frankenstein as I could have put this lightning to good use. A stumbling violent resurrected creature made from various parts would have been the ideal centre half for Edinburgh City... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More storm please. That's typical Dundee- the electricity's been cut off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 This is absolutely mental. Constant lightning since 9pm and now biblical downpours to go with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Southside of Capital City. In my 50+ years, I have never seen rain like this. Quite awesome and the lightshow isn't too bad. Thankfully we live at the top of a hill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I'm quite envious, I love a good batch of thunder and lightning. In Paisley we've had nothing and the skies are so clear we might get a decent display of the Persied meteors ;later on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last hour it’s gone from very faint thunder gradually getting louder but still not quite here yet (Falkirk). However we’ve also had almost constant lightning for 2-3 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had two messages in the last hour from folk in tenements where you’d think there was no roof on the building, such is the volume of water pouring in all over the place. Since the council stopped doing repairs to roofs in Edinburgh (thanks to employees fiddling the bills to earn huge backhanders) the tenement stock is a series of disasters waiting to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should probably clarify that I’m on the first floor of a 4 storey tenement, if water finds its way to me, something’s gone horribly wrong! Absentee Landlords and buy to let doesn’t help either, as they’ve no interest in work getting done and that simply slows any process in place right up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
