Chrischb · 2010-03-22 04:20:08

There were twenty seconds of furious rain where I was... smile

New Zealand often gets bad weather - and Wellington is plagued with wind! Today it was horrible. yikes

I stepped out side for a second, and all I could hear was lightning and ambulances...I think a lot of people are hurt D:

I got some pictures of that storm but I had to use a disposable camera so that I could go into the rain. I'll post them here later.
Here is some infomation on the storm:

My whole back garden started flooding.

At about 6:00 pm the whole sky went really red, and there was this MASSIVE rainbow.

BWOG · 2010-03-22 08:51:01

Does it, like, not rain there very much?

Can think of who I'm impersonating. tongue

I saw an ambulance yesterday. And a firetruck. Both going to an emergancy. And they were about 8 feet away from me. Because I was on the sidewalk. And they were on the closest lane. And this paragraph has a lot of sentances.

Our last big storm was about 7 or 8 months ago. It happened on the last day of summer term, during the middle of the day. Our school is divided into two main parts, and I was in one part, and all my friends were in the other (it was a lunchtime, so we're allowed to roam. Plus I had my next lesson in that part of the school). I wanted to make sure they were OK, so I took my chance while I could, and dashed past the prefect on duty. I got out into the courtyard, and the water was about 2 feet deep in places. It had only been raining for half an hour or so - so I was pretty thrown off by that.

Then, of course, being a storm, there was lightning. I was running through the courtyard (A teacher was telling me to get through fast), when about 9 or 10 feet in front of me, a fork of lightning came down. If the water wasn't so deep, I would have ran into it.

That's just about the silliest thing I've ever done. So remember, don't chase lightning storms, children smile

A few years ago when I was Grade 7 going on grade eight, it was the last day or school. My friends and I were walking home to our general area which was five blocks away (Well, mine was, theirs was further down the street) So anyway, the trip is usually half an hour or so. Then it started raining. Not normal rain, however. This was some sort of super rain, and it was like showering while being fully dressed. Needless to say it made me sick for 2 weeks of my summer break.

HelenWonky · 2010-04-06 02:48:18

Speaking of storms... I think one is coming now! Oh well, at least we'll get some rain. (and thunder!) I hate storms!

joeisawesome · 2010-04-06 09:36:40

I bet you someone tried to divide by 0.

HelenWonky · 2010-04-06 23:44:51

Yep, there was a storm last night. We got quite a bit of rain. And lightning. And thunder. Loud thunder.
