All roads lead to Gorgie

There is a Tornado Alley in the states, Edinburgh now seems to be in the thunder and lightning alley of the UK. We don't even get the high temperatures but we end up with the storms just the same!

Don't mind watching the light show from the safety of the hoose though.

Don't recall ever seeing lightning like that. Constant flashes.

 

Quite enjoy a bit of extreme weather as long as it's the moderate Scottish variety.

I can’t remember a light show like this in Edinburgh , I’ve seen one in Ontario and one in Marbella over Mijas that were spectacular but this is fantastic

Tell you what,there will be loads of fecking builders and punters absolutely fecking gutted tomora.
Jobs and sites absolutely fecking flooded.....
Theres a big extension job not far away from me at East Trinity Road and they aint covered their pitched roof construct for fecking months.They`ve cut into their own house roof to run the ridge board and valley rafters etc and covered it with temporary visqueen sheeting...........Il bet their fecking living room will have geese in there by midnight.

Was heavy hailstones on Milton road 20 mins ago. I had to pull over in my car for 5 mins as couldn’t see in front of me. Shit myself

Quite the cycle home from in town. Wasn’t too bad but the Roseburn cycle path with it’s lack of decent lighting was creepy as feck with the lightning flashes. I felt like a lost hiker in a horror film.

Definitely the most active storm I've ever seen. Constant flashes, biblical rain and now the thunder is picking up too.

 

I've seen a lot of storms like this at sea down in the equatorial region but never over Edinburgh.

It's not them breaking that's the issue here, more the building resembling Victoria Falls. 🤣

This has been awesome to watch. Don't remember anything like it. 

 

Can the lightning get me through the window 🤔

Still no rain in West Lothian.....

 

It's been absolutely hammering down like a pressure washer over Edinburgh.

Still nothing on Southside Glasgow. Suggested that it will hit about 1am. 

Is it still warm in Embra? I want to do that rare thing in Scotland when you can keep your window open a bit during a storm.

Each dot is the lightning strike in the last 15 mins.

There is a flash every 2 seconds!

Pray for Sooperstar. 

I've actually got back out of bed to come and sit in the living room and watch it with the dog. The wife is still through there sleeping though!
