This hit Winnipeg last year and was the most intense I had ever seen. As the description goes, imagine that scene every 1-2 seconds, a continuous onslaught of heavy rain, and constant thunder rumbling. Gahd and I decided to take a stroll this evening. We were transporting my now dead server via bus back to my place. Wrapping it up in a couple garbage bags, we walked outside, totally soaked in a matter of seconds. And then we walked up to the main street and waited for a good 20 minutes for the bus to arrive, enjoying the light show and being deafened by thunder. I can't speak for Gahd, but that was fun.
By the by, something I've been wondering about. Which is faster? Lightning or the human bodies neurological signals?
