I don't know about Idaho though, I wasn't aware that the state got big thunderstorms. Anyway, 1/8 of a mile is definitely preferable to 10 yards!<br /><br />All the best,<br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917420597770463210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-11293317496043709112009-11-16T23:42:52.449-10:002009-11-16T23:42:52.449-10:00I was in a big thunderstorm up in Idaho a few year...I was in a big thunderstorm up in Idaho a few years back with lightning hitting across the road out in the fields, but never closer than an 1/8th of a mile. You could sure smell it and the bangs were deafening.<br /><br />It was scary, but awe inspiring at the same time. Mother Nature's power is awesome.<br /><br />To be just feet from it and have it hit the house would be scary indeed.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275989673760776768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-14218582361689822842009-11-15T21:06:34.698-10:002009-11-15T21:06:34.698-10:00All,

I'm glad I'm perhaps not as big a wimp as I thought I'd come across, but those storms certainly had some psychological effect on me! I was getting very nervous just this last Saturday - a very intense thunderstorm was a few miles offshore and the NWS had it moving onshore right over this place, but fortunately it didn't happen!<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917420597770463210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-22877052488887307142009-11-15T19:21:42.936-10:002009-11-15T19:21:42.936-10:00That would scare the Bejesus out of me.That would scare the Bejesus out of me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-61241390844543549182009-11-14T23:06:14.328-10:002009-11-14T23:06:14.328-10:00With experiences like that, no wonder you're a...With experiences like that, no wonder you're afraid! It sounds to me like thunderstorms are far more (FAR more) severe than the ones here in northern Europe.
