Weather you like it or not!

We've had a terrific thunderstorm here in The Land of the Swamp People (Somerset). The lightning was so close it made me jump and it was followed by huge thunderclap like I haven't heard since Africa!
Anyway, a friend of mine sent a link on FB so I could watch the lightening in real time on a map!
If you're interested it is called www.lightningmaps.org.
I of course thanked him kindly for showing me that it was right above my house! Duh!

Your link doesn't work, but then that's because you've misspelt it!

www.lightningmaps.org

(Never mind. It's a very common misconception of the spelling.)

I'm glad you said that Tess .. I was sitting here scratching my head as they both looked the same.

Thought I was having a senior moment

JBR have you thought of erecting a lightning conductor on your roof to draw it nearer for a real close encounter

My Mum was a bus conductor for forty years, legend has it that she was quite fast!
