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?

Great picture Killean. Awsome display!
As to whether lightning or brain signals are faster, I suspect lightning wins, given the chemical component of neurological signals. But then, the distances are shorter in the brain so it may be relative to individual/particular instances. Here's a bit on the speed of lightning:
