philfort Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 There's been a huge thundercloud over the Cascades for the past half hour or so, with lightning bolts flashing through it every few seconds... nice view from downtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billygoat Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I was just climbing up here in the San Juans and from my vantage it is enormous. Biggest single cloud I have ever seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I seriously thought my house was going to blow up last night, that was the most insane lightening storm I've ever been in. It started raining like crazy too, didn't stop til about 2am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 did you know if lightning strikes the internet while you are spraying you could be electrocuted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 did you know if lightning strikes the internet while you are spraying you could be electrocuted! Â I had some good viewing from Queen Anne last night while watching Conan. I'd stick my head out the window periodically. The cloud seemed to be stationary over the range of mountains between Mt. Si and Mt. Index. It may have been slowly moving south or southwest. Â We may very well have a repeat performance tonight and this weekend. Conditions are still primed for it...which is partially why I changed my plans to merely day-climb tomorrow. Â Nice pictures, guys. Ah, the power of digital cameras with video capabilities!

jon Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 So Dru, when you see the flash and you count how long is it until you hear the thunder, are you dividing by two or multiplying by two up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You have to deivide by 2.2 liters/gallon and .6$Canadian/$US. Or is that for gas? Might as well be in rods per bushel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I know a couple of folks that were up in terror basin last night. I really want them to come back and tell me if they got absolutely dumped on. I am 99% sure none of them brought anything more than a sleeping bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
