Nice thunderstorm today

[PoorSucker]

Clears the air.

My TGF complain about me sitting on the balcony admiring the it.

Guess working on a rice field during thunderstorm is no good idea.

I'm from the Nordic countries and love it.

Guess you shouldn't play golf right now 😂 

[Upnotover]

Yep, take your watch off, don't play phone......same in Bangkok right now, refreshing much!

The lightning was a little close but I managed to duck into Nikkon Court

well Lee Trevino if you know who he is, during an interview he as asked what he would do if he was playing in a thunderstorm and his reply was "I would play my 1-iron because not even GOD can hit a 1-iron!!"

Shutting down sai3, North of Klang because of flood

Old time stuff, old land lines could transfer lightning but not cellphones.

I never played any golf until I came to Bkk in 1976, always thought it was a stupid game - after playing  first round at the OLD Khao Yai course (armed guards for tigers and caddies wouldn't go in the woods for any balls hit there.  5 of us lost 80 balls on the 1st nine holes.  Loved it too much.  3 of us it was our first round of golf - we all three ordered clubs the following week.  I think anywhere else starting golf other than Thailand might have kept me from falling in love with the game.  I live in CM now and have had a few problems with wrists so stopped playing a couple of years ago but now am anxious to get back out there.

I got back to the condo just in time, checked the CCTVs around town for rain

Well I obviously didn't get it on the video (would be pretty expert to predict lightning to the seconds). Were many very close lightning and extremely loud thunder on soi bukhao

We've had 2 good storms in the last week and I think we're building up for another one right now.

I don't go along with this advise. I don't think that lightning is quite that selective, but the old advise regarding standing under trees sure is valid. This one is only about 200 metres from the edge of our village. I read on the web that trees explode when they take a lightning strike. It's true. It really is!

The advice was in reference to the OP's girlfriend having received this wisdom from my own in the rice fields of Kalasin many moons ago.  I did go along with it but not because I believed it.

More coming today,

Yer, my wife gets a bit jumpy when I go and sit out in the gazebo. It is made of aluminum so I'm convinced it will act as a Faraday cage in the unlikely event of a strike. But I could just be wrong!

You're not wrong, cars also work as Faraday cage.
