  2. Speedway Slider
    What do you mean when you say "elevated lightning" is it C to C flavour??
  3. Speedway Slider
    NO!!!!!!!

    Hmmm, similar to me, do you have sky, cable or standard tv through aerial I had sky installed to avoid an aerial on the roof!!! I unplug everything electrial except Sky tv, turn mirrors around, and basically sit there terrified!!

    Gordon, if you don't mind me asking, how long have you had problems with Thunderstorms, and what is it you do when you get one...? Cheers Karl.

    Well, I am on the western fringe of the less severe section now... Still worried, with the obligatory stomach butterfly's, and the gentle head thumping also in situ now....

    I will be on duty at Leicester Speedway on Sat afternoon, getting track ready for our meeting Saturday night at 7.30pm, as you all know by now, I hate thunderstorms at the best of times !! What's our storm chances? I'm hoping by say 2pm they will have passed us by, at least the big uns. Our track is sort of west Leicester, nr Beaumont Lets, post code: LE4 1DZ , I put that to aid non Speedway fans and people that don't know Leicester well.. Cheers for any input

    Same with me........ I am terrified of thunder/lightning, obviously it's the lightning element that actually terrifies me, I'm not so bad if I am with a group of people, in what I consider a "safe place" but on my own, i'm useless! Most likely seen running to get in a car, wind up Windows, feet on rubber mat, hands off all inside of the car and wait until it passes over... I actually have recurring nightmares about lightning, thunder, ridiculously massive tornados, stupid constant lightning, hitting everywhere around me..... Feeling nervous just thinking about it.......

    C'Mon....., what the difference between elevated and surface thunderstorms? Please??
  12. Speedway Slider
    Yep, me to...took 8 goes yesterday to make a post stick.. Seemed like the forum lost all its formatting and html coding....seems better now..
  13. Speedway Slider
    Right my friends........ What's? The difference between surface based and elevated/high based thunderstorms? Is it the types of lightning produced, or storm longevity of storms, intensity, or something else......?
  14. Speedway Slider
    11:06 Thursday..... Met Office Updated Warning For Saturday Now Modified... The word Thunderstorm/s have been totally removed from the forecast!! Now only saying heavy, thundery downpours...... What's going on!???
  15. Speedway Slider
    Blimey!!!!! Just watching that, 4 years later, has given me a belly ache, butterflys in my belly and a cold sweat!!!!! Hope we don't get anything that close/violent/loud in Leicester on Fri night, Sat day....!

    The there e 850 chart looks like a person walking towards the UK!!! Not really relevant, but it spooked me looking at it!!!!
  17. Speedway Slider
    With all the hyping/ogling of these charts, how rare are they? Are they once a year charts, once a decade charts, once in a lifetime??? If you get what I mean....?
  18. Speedway Slider
    Right, Thundery Shower v Thunderstorm, if lightning can only be formed in a cumulus nimbus (thunder cloud) i think I have spelt it correctly, what is the difference between a thundery shower and a thunderstorm or can lightning be produced in other cloud formations if certain conditions are met, ie you get a ruddy great shower, and a single flash bang event....... If you understand what I mean....??
  19. Speedway Slider
    8th go at this post....!! What do you mean "pub run" charts as mentioned earlier in this thread?
  20. Speedway Slider
    Ahhhh, found it....
  21. Speedway Slider

    Well, both Leicesters Speedway matches were rained off over the bank holiday weekend.... We pumped around 18,000 Gallons of rain water off the track and rain storage tanks, all to no avail... Hope it's not a pre cursor to the rest of the season, when is this batch of poor weather set to move on...?
  25. Speedway Slider
    Ok guys, we got rained off yesterday at home against Birmingham :-( Tomorrow we race Poole at home, 3pm first race... What can we expect from the weather gods, from say 12 noon until around 18:00? Our track is Leicester, oh, forgot to mention it's Speedway, and I work on track prep on race days.. Thanks Speedway Slider..
