Scottish⑦Canuck Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Last night was astonishing here. I've never seen anything like it, even in the tropics. 4 straight hours of continuous lightning striking every 3-4 seconds and extreme flash floods. Sounded like a bomb going off. Sadly a train also hit a landslide this morning and derailed. Edited August 12, 2020 by Scottish⑦Canuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a bad lighting storm here a couple weeks ago. My dog was cowering in the corner from the booms and flashes outside. Thankfully for her it was no where near as bad as you experienced.

A narrow band of weather, rectangular in shape hit Nanoose, Lasqueti Island, Texada Island, through Powell River and up into Toba Inlet. Quite the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKNuck96 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Ah rain - when I lived in Vancouver it was one thing that was consistent and familiar (I’m from UK so rain is a constant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That period was bad here as well, although we didn’t get as much rain we got a hell of a lot of dry lightning that was continuously striking every few seconds a brilliant purple. Was magnificent to see and it looked and sounded like it was from war of the worlds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I couldn’t find an “OMG Lightning?” thread, so this one will have to do. Quite the electrical storm tonight. Possibly the most intense I’ve ever seen in the Vancouver area. Nothing like what you’ll see in Ontario or parts of the Prairies, but definitely a big thunder storm for the Lower Mainland. One strike was so close there was basically no gap between the lightning and thunder. And hit so hard it lit up my bedroom with a blinding flash of light, and shook the whole house. Somehow my kids slept through it. They are good sleepers! I’ve been outside watching the show, since I can’t sleep with all these flashes and noise. Storm seems to be moving north now, and getting less intense, but was a pretty good light show there for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Also, just to stay on topic, got a ****load of rain and the drains are overwhelmed and my driveway is flooded. I’m not sure if it was a good idea when I went out and stood barefoot and ankle deep in water while watching the crazy lightning overhead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through the cloud cover, whole areas of the sky would suddenly light up. Pretty cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
