Lord have mercy. The Hawaii Game is going to finish before this game! Any chance they might suspend it until tomorrow?

Seattle area sees 200 lightning strikes in under an hour Saturday night

Ya, shit was nuts in the Sound. Since you grew up in Enumclaw you experience their electrical storms. It is like that except Thunder that shakes your home and the lightening lights up the sky every 30 seconds with bolts you see lands somewhere.

They really ought to postpone it til tomorrow.Playing til like 1am local time is insane imho.

That was a hell of a storm. Blew out transformers and knocked out power in our area. The transformer explosions were like bombs going off. Was kind of cool outside of losing power.

Probably the most prolific lightning storm in the last 6-7 years.

Definitely reminded me of the lightning storms in AZ a little bit during monsoon season.

Yep. Anybody know if the Seahawks are at home tomorrow?

 

[wazzu31]

How's the Sailgating going that you always brag about?

Luckily their is a floating bridge and another Choo Choo bridge that is under construction for the lightening to hit over the ghey Yachts the alumni sail gate in.

Not lighting related, but one of my fondest memories of the Sound was when I was 15 and doing figure eights under the Narrows Bridge in a storm w/white caps. 14" of freeboard and every time my cousin started to walk to the back of the boat to bash my head in I'd flip another figure 8 to keep him off balance. Whirlpools everywhere and people literally stopping on the bridge trying to shout down to us. Finally a cop stopped on that bridge and we took off. Lucky me he waited until we got the boat loaded up at Browns Pt. before he bashed my head in.

Unfortunately I grew up after they re enforced the Narrows so I didn’t get to see the crazy stuff I heard about. Now that shit is an albatross for every resident who takes that, sails or anything boat related. The 101 became more ideal once a certain political party took over the WSDOT.

I haven't seen the new bridge yet but with the old one you always had constant whirlpools. The worst though was at riptide because if you didn't angle your boat when heading to Gig Harbor you'd keep angling south towards the Narrows. On a lighter note, the octopus fishing under the narrows is about as good as it gets with maybe the exception of Redondo. We'd go octopus fishing with five gallon buckets after we knocked holes in the bottom of 'em with 16p nails. Afterwards we'd sell them to the asians and go buy dope.

I've been living on the Eastside since '73 and never seen anything like that.

Maybe the foothills of the Cascades get more lightening than Bellevue or Seattle...

Here in Bothell it was non stop lightening for over an hour at least it seem like it was non stop.

It's electrifying!

Oh, You mean this morning. At first, I thought you meant tomorrow afternoon.
