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...

Widge 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. [emoji92][emoji313][emoji299] Thankfully we live at the top of a hill.Lucky you, I’m at the bottom of one and the street outside was practically a river for the best part of 20 minutes earlier. Still happy to be stuck in a stone tenement at times like these. [emoji23] 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...

throbber Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 That was awesome last night - one blast went off within a split second of us as I was right at the window and the house completely shook. I’ve never seen the sky so frequently lighting up like that before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
