Now Iam going to tell you the strange thing that happened last night here in chennai.
Everyone knows that thunderstorms never stay at a single place for more that half an hour, but it was proved wrong.
Yesterday night while returning home I saw that the sky was clouded over, but it was clear just hours ago and there was some magnificent ligtning
bolts which I could observe and it was absolutely amazing, this was around 19:00 hours and then the sky continued flashing for another two hours and
at 21:00 hours I started hearing thunder thats normal I thought, but the intensity of the thunder storm grew and at around midnight there was heavy
thunder storm with brilliant flashes of light turning the night sky to day and the thunder sound was huge, you might say it is normal, but no this
continued for three whole hours and I was scared even to take a video of the thunder storm, now as I write this thread the sun is rising on a clouded
sky.
The reason why I statted the thread is to say that I have never seen such a theunderstorm before in life running three entire hours, it kinda shocked
me
Anyway all I wanted is the opinion of several brilliants on ats regarding this whether it is just a rare phenomenon or is this going to occur
regularly in the future as a reult of global warming.
Thanks in advance.
