Re: Gold coast storm
Ain't that the truth
Sitting in school hall watching a show and could hear sod all except torrential rain and very very loud thunder, not to mention the sweet sound of hail hitting a 100 odd cars outside, whilst lighting going on and off with the lightning flashes 
Great show though both inside and out. I think the kids will be swimming over the oval tomorrow.

I sat breastfeeding my little one who didnt flinch and hubby was trapped in the car on the drive unable to get out once he had got home. LOL
At least my toddler slept through it

Re: Gold coast storm
I decided to take my dog for a walk before it all started. We started walking and I could see the blackness and the lightening, but thought I've got plenty time. Anyway eventually I saw it coming fast so we started running home and the rain was following us by about an inch and then a huge gust of wind nearly knocked us over. We literally got into the garage to see the storm hit the house. It was like being in a film. Amazingly my dog didn't care at all we both just sat and watched it continue from indoors.

Re: Gold coast storm
We are about to move house to an apartment with sea views, and I told the kids I couldn't wait for the first thunder and lightening storm so I could watch it from the balcony!
We haven't had a decent storm for ages, and then this week OMG!
Betcha it will all finish by the time we move and I have to wait ages for my balcony viewing!
Though I have been wondering if I would have been as brave as I think in these storms, they have been mega!
When I first arrived in Sydney in late 1989/early 2000 I remember watching the storms from Watsons Bay back down the harbour to the bridge. It was awesome and that is where I got my love of watching the storms.
Bet all the newbies are wondering about this place! Summer weather is notoriously erratic, just got to enjoy it!

Re: Gold coast storm
There are always electrical storms off the coast. Most of the time there's no thunder just lightning off the coast. It's great to see
