anonymo October 4, 2006 Share anonymo Member October 4, 2006 So like some of you I am addicted to really big nasty thunderstorms. This morning in Toronto was no exception. I have recently moved into a new apartment on the 32nd floor and have been looking forward to a really good storm since the day I moved. This morning I awoke to continuously brilliant flashes of light. Every time positive met negative it was like a stage set just for me. All the buildings around mine acting like players in some grand enactment. Every flash was clear in the early morning darkness as heavy clouds of wind and wet topled across buildings in their effort to remain aloft. Many times I thought I was going to lose my bowl of Cinnimon Twist Life cereal as the jagged forks of light and heat connected with the adjacent buildings. It was brilliant. I had an urge to remain on my balcony that I could not ignore. But alas, I had to go to work. Still, I shall not soon forget this fateful morning when mother nature all but reached out and touched my face. Next time I hope I have a camera.

Xterminator October 4, 2006 Share Xterminator Member October 4, 2006 anonymo...we had the same storm in kitchener...HUGE!!! it woke me up and scared the crap outta me. Naturally my first instinct was to make sure the moon roof on my car was closed (i've left it open accidently b4 during storms....not pretty). But yeah after that i layed in bed just listening to thunder and seeing those brilliant flashes. Good storm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magruter October 4, 2006 Share Magruter Member October 4, 2006 Got the same thing in the madison area, woke me up around 4:30 and kept me up for about 30 minutes. At least the tornado siren didn't go off in the middle of night, like a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGeek October 4, 2006 Share TheGeek Member October 4, 2006 In the middle of september minnesota had a good old thunderstorm with no rain. The T-storm was in 2 layers in the clouds. The top layer (maybe 100 feet above the bottom one) would flash every 3 seconds or so. The bottom layer was not as dense as the top layer and the flashes of light would shine down through the bottom layer. Me and my friend stopped on the side of the road and watched it for 30 min. That was the coolest t-storm I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max67 October 5, 2006 Share Max67 Member October 5, 2006 So uhg where did you move? somewhere close to lakeshore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymo October 5, 2006 Author Share anonymo Member October 5, 2006 Max I'm at yonge and eglinton...but I can see the lake on a clear day...heck on a clear day I can see the other side of the lake! Anyone want to donate a nice camera to the cause? If I left a camera on all day and night I would get the greatest images. I face east so every morning I see a different sunrise and they are always spectacular. The storm itself was really nuts because I was basically inside of it when I woke up. Usually you can look down from my balcony and see Yonge Street all lit up but yesterday morning I couldn't even see the street lights, I think because I was actually in a cloud! Anyways, hopefully I'll have a camera soon enough and can share the view with you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
