storm brewing

[carmalee]

am down on Romney Marsh and the trees are certainly treeing tonight - a right storm brewing - brilliant -I love storms, the bigger the better.

It's been threatening to storm here in my part of Essex all afternoon.

Not been too bad today but just in the last hour or so the wind has got up and it's brilliant - spent a lot of time in Africa and really love storms so am sorting out wellies plus a raincoat and umbrella for the dog to go out and enjoy the deluge.

"the trees are certainly treeing tonight"

Treeing? What do you mean by this?

[carmalee]

Just an expression to say they are whipping around. As in the birds are birding and the daffs are daffing? -not to be taken literally

[society]

Oh... alright then, thanks for explaining...

I cannot remember the last time we had a good storm.My Dad used to say living on a peninsula meant we never got them that bad....hang on,I remember one about 15 years ago,went on for over an hour and the lightening was striking every second-amazing

I've lived in Africa for many years and can remember one time a ferocious storm that broke at about 2am - it was just incredible - we were all going to die - the dogs and I succumed to our fate and sat on the stoep (verandha) and watched the lightning striking all around us - what an experience - the clouds here are doing their best to threaten - fingers crossed

have availed the dog with wellies - we will venture forth - good night.
