the local paper came yesterday and that huge bang that rattled the windows actually burnt our next door but ones neighbours house down just wanted to say see it can happen

Hi Jo,
Turning the tv off would be more safer than turning it up!!! Lightning loves TV aerials!!!! Ade

You lot sound like my mother.
TV off, phone unplugged, infact everything unplugged. She never used to be so extreme until the next door neighbours tv got blown across the room during a storm many years ago.

ha ha Rach my nan used to hide all the cutlery, turn all the mirrors around, switch everything off, then hide under the stairs with cotton wool in her ears and a towel over her head. She was terrified.
