I got this little android app which stores a bunch of images in the buffer and allows you to get some cool lightning pics
We had a bit of flash bang storm today lost power for a few hours.
The first one is a little too close to the tower that gives me my net connection (just to the left of the strike)
My closest neighbour thought the house was collapsing when this one hit
They look so epic at night here is one from a few years ago.
You’ve got some great looking landscapes there in Aussie. I would almost pack up and emigrate… almost 
I met this posh family in England years back who emigrated to Australia, they were back in a shot.
The woman had a nervous breakdown when she mistook a gardenhose for a snake 
Since we live on the top of a hill with open ground around the house in 15 years we have only had 2 garden hoses near the house. Around water or thick undergrowth, there are a few around it is just a case of getting used to sharing. I mean the USA has big ass bears, mountain lions and other stuff that will kill you Europe has hmm nothing springs to mind. I guess when you grow up with a healthy respect for things that can hurt you the fear factor is a lot less. 
That’s why we don’t come over, we wouldn’t know what could kill us and what couldn’t
Assume everything then research later 
These are the kind of spiders that we get here that tend to freak some people out.
They will only bite you when you threaten them, picking them up or something like that.
It’s a bit painful apparently, I don’t know I’ve never been bitten because I’m not daft enough to pick them up. 
The first one you will find in gardens and the second in your home.
WOW… I’m jealous…
I’ve eaten one of the first ones, common garden spider, pops goo in your mouth, very sour…
I’ve done a lot of crazy things in my life but not that 
What are some of them? The most scandalous anyway… 
I’m not gonna tell you that, I may be daft but I’m not that daft 
Aw, rats. I was looking forward to a little titillation to help ease this brutal cold today (-5F this morning).
Tough, I was pretty cold myself until you asked me that question. Ended up without clothes 
That’ll have to do then. Thanks!
Wow, we’re really not far from each other. I’m not too far straight below the -21 part of the Peoria listing.
@anon96069639 if you draw a backwards L shape between you two I’m the elbow lol
Yeah, it’s largely abated for us already. No wind chill, and around 9F at the moment.
