stilldellin Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Not surprising if the " nort ower " rain was anything like we had here at Sumburgh at the back of four this afternoon. Canna think it's not slackened up some more of all that peat up north.

Hector's House Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Not just the amount of rain that would loosen the peat - there were some pretty hefty lightning strikes too round here accompanied by window-rattling thunderclaps... which slackened my dog's bladder control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanna Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Bad night for lightning, power went off on the Westside around 5.45, Hydro guys passed the house around 8 after the worst was over, power back on at 9pm, thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
