It has been lightning and thunder since 7am.
The Emerg radio is in action all day.
I called my vendor to see if it was wise to put on the p.m. mist and O2 for KV and he brushed me off.
So I called the local non emerg. Fire Dept and they said if your gut says no go with it..
Folks we are being hit with Lightning and thunder and no 1 elephant counts.
The local FD said that they had a hit in one substation and all I could think was to say I CAN PRAY we have NO STRIKES..we live in a rain forrest but very dry now...
The emerg radio has not stopped and the worst of the storm is going to hit in 30 min....
PRAY...I am sure U Arizona Freepers R use to this.
Good News My sinus headache went away...I thought we were going to have an earthquake I was so Quik ded out not non stop thunder and lightning...
My son the KV is bored the 3 cold nose lab crew are huddled with me on my twim bed.....
Weather warning for 60 mile wind and huge hail in the next now 15min.
The lightning and thunderbumps are now non stop...
There is plenty of grass and dry old timber .....we need to open up the mills kinda like drill now...cripes it is bad God Help Us..
Thanks for the warning - I guess I better get my windows closed here in Portland.
Twin not twim...
It got very quiet... perhaps the emerg weather dept is slow ..
No here it goes again..
Prayers sent your way Global2010.
I have been here over two decades.. this is not fun and really not nice.
Yall in Portland are enjoying 100 plus heat...
It is very different here on the coast and it does not smell like pee like in the Pearl Dist.
Your safe but this is some scary wierd Coast weather. They pulled in the F/V early on today.
My weather report says crazy rain etc hitting mid week. What part of Oregon coast are you in? Maybe I've got something to look forward to since it's too dang hot to sleep again tonight.
Thank You Sir... timber is dry we do NOT want a strike...
I keep my land clear cut but some of the others around here love there trees and underbrush...
I hate Rock and Roll but right now I am thinking about Cat Scratch Fever...Love Nugent
Holy Toledo here it comes again..
I’m here in Benton County (in the Willamette Valley)...
We had some beautiful thunder storms yesterday. Plenty of lightning tonight too, but no where near as bad as you are reporting. Its certainly calmed down here now. Only about 60F, lots of wind and not much rain to speak of.
Prayers up for Lincoln County! God bless!
Have you experience thunder and lightning before in summer?
I have...beautiful but fires are a concern.
Let’s get you a weather forecast.
Put in your zip code here (don’t tell us what it is) and check your forecast.

Newport on the bay but the huge hit according to the emerg radio is Florence that is like way 79 miles south..the flashing is so non stop my eyes/brain hurt like a disco light and not liking the music if I get knocked off line well I will love bringin in a flat tv and dumpinping this tv...
The air is sweeeet cool as we have the machines running and the swampy heat too but it is now cooling and I can tolerate 300 pounds of Dogs on me wanting to rescue them from the storm...bird dogs and hunting boyz but cant take a storm go figure.
I am scared too...
About a thousand fires here in California from lightning strikes so far this year... So I know what you mean...
Yes.
It is still non stop.
Hey I am going to take the big fan of Wierd Al to the State Fair and he puts on quite the pyschodelic show...but nothing compared to this storm..
OK after the Emerg warning and it has not let up..hail has not hit yet.
Hmmm just being an ask hole but should I go fly a kite with a key.. nah Mr. Franklin dunnit.
I literally cannot see due to the constant lightning hits...hmmm shock thearapy? I know my jokes are poor...
Hope you have a quiet peaceful night and the puppies settle down.
I had no idea that it was sooooo hot and humid here in the Willamette valley. Can't wait to get back home to the Puget Sound.
Dude un lighten up already.
Mercy.
It is bad. But no strikes...
Holy Toledo that was huge again..
If there is a God he will smite out the time share condos blocking the 101 View.. kidding I think
just saw your tag line...
Sweeet.
Actually we had some lightning here in Portland last night - my dog, who always sleeps in my bedroom, went downstairs to spend the night. I had left my bedroom windows open so maybe she was smart.
Good luck tonight.
My heart is with you. Here in the Rogue Valley we had a little lightening yesterday and the day before. Nothing bad yet, but I’ve been through bad before. I lived in Cave Junction during the lightening caused Biscuit Fire. I’ll keep you and the fur babies in my prayers.
