Thunderstorm?
 

I'm seeing some angry purple clouds around the Port Mann area. Think we might get a light show today?

some major thunder for a bit now over here


but its only just started to rain

Great thread; 10/10, would read again.

It's like we get one rumble of thunder every spring and then another in the summer. And then every 3-4 years a serious storm. I've been through summers in Chicago and DC, and the wet season in Ethiopia, they get even strong storms at least once a week (daily in Ethiopia). Epic cloud to ground lightning and gnarly thunder, not the soft rumbles we usually get.

I think he was trying to fins a Thunderbuddy.
