Now THIS is an amazing sunset! Fireworks on the left, a comet McNaught in the middle, and lightning on the right.

Crazy! This is in Australia btw.

Unreal.

I was working at the Whitecaps game and it was insane. Play was suspended with 5 minutes left of the first half because of the lightning and thunder and a lot of our concession stands had to close because of metal pole issues haha.. anyway. I can't remember the last time I've seen torrential rain fall like that. I left work at 9:15 and fans were still waiting for the game to start up again. The sky was amazing too.

All I wana know is... WHERE THERE MANY GIRLS WITH WHITE SHIRTS AT THE FIREWORKS?

Ulic Qel-Droma 07-25-2009 09:34 PM

i woke up from my nap around 9, i heard the sounds of kids screaming (they were probably playing), i thought my building was in hell or something, all my blinds were down but intense red light was coming through the slits. I got out and i took a pic, the photos just don't capture it though. i woke up when the sun was half way into the horizon, and by the time i finished taking pics it had already set.

you! 07-25-2009 09:40 PM

Two people hit by lightning in Golden Ears Park
Pair taken to hospital in stable condition


MAPLE RIDGE (NEWS1130) - What's the chance of being struck by lightning? Whatever it is... two people in Maple Ridge are lucky to be in stable condition in hospital after they were hit this evening.

Around 7:30p.m., RCMP Sergeant Roger Lauzon explains the man and woman were camping in Golden Ears Park, when lightning hit a nearby tree, "Lightning just hit the top of one of the trees there and carried through the tree. At the base of the tree it exited, then went through one vehicle, disabled the vehicle, activated the airbags, and then went out one tail light into another vehicle and did the same thing."

From there, the lightning hit the pair as they were walking by. Lauzon doesn't know if they were blown down by the lightning itself, or the blast as it exited the two cars. He expects the two to make a full recovery.


Sounds like such a bullshit story.

anyone hear / see that burst of rain 5 / 10 minutes ago

lmao..
phoned up some friends at the beach and they said they're getting soaked.

it was bad, got to the point where some of us just left. Can't enjoy the fireworks when the sand is shit and everything is wet.

Lightning strikes everywhere, like every 3 mins there'd be one.

Holy shit, that's Amazing!

What an UNREAL day...lol Forecast's calls for high of 32's yesterday and as I'm driving to lunch, it starts to rain. So I call my friends up and asked them "Hows the beach? at 4pm" and they said it wasn't raining, so I went. Picked up a friend at 6 then bounced to DT, paid $5 in parking and it starts to rain even harder...FML

Walked up and down Robson to find a place to eat while getting absolutely SOAKED in the process...Beautiful...eventually we decided to just book it outta DT and eat somewhere else...talk about a waste of time..

PS: It's pretty slippery on the road, you guys should be careful. Saw some minivan brake too late and skidded into the intersection, had to reverse back.

StylinRed 07-25-2009 10:56 PM
