So far it's pretty much a dud. A few lightning bolts, a bit of thunder, nothing even that loud. A quick downpour that lasted 3 minutes. Lame. Even when things look good for us as usual we get screwed. Where is the rain we were promised? Radar is skimpy as well.

My rake cracked in half on Sunday.

It's so sad that this is what's considered a thunderstorm out here...

I have a 35-minute video that I'll cut down of insane lighting I caught in Toronto last month. I'll post it so you guys can just see the difference and enjoy.

We always get screwed here in Vancouver for storms like this..

1. I love how he's walking almost under a tree in the middle of a lightning storm

2. In no way do I think this is the best storm we received in over 20 years.

Well, looks like it's over.

In other words, a typical Wet Coast “thunderstorm.” I have only seen a really good thunderstorm perhaps six to ten times in the roughly 30 years I have lived on the West Coast. Most recently being 2019 in Bellingham.

This time, most of the action seems to have gone well east of the city. I think Catnip got a good show out of it.

If getting good thunderstorm action is important, one must .

we're getting a few rumbles out here this morning, but otherwise was a quiet night, nothing like you all in the valley got last night

I think my perspective has just been changed at the storms I've witnessed in Toronto. A thunderstorm out there with no warnings will prompt a severe thunderstorm warning out here easily.

Different climates!

Confirmed..lame event...a bit of rain..heard a few rumbles. Kept the window open last night hoping to hear some power. Nope

I guess I had a better view. For a west coast thunderstorm it wasn't bad at all here.

Or maybe I slept thru most of it
