Thunder Bolts and Lightning very very Frightening!

So, tonight was the first CU meal and fellowship during exam times! There was yummy food (thanks Katie!) and then there was a short 'Freshers Team' meeting, where those who wished to be involved had a get together and we discussed a few things! Lots to think and pray about!

As usual we (Alastair, Chris, Dougie, Erin and I) went to play some pool! I was actually playing quite well tonight, i was surprised at this, but nonetheless happy! Chris and Erin left quite early, but we continued playing! UNTIL (du du du!) A very strange thing happened, they had one half of the pool hall kinda closed off, well the lights weren't on, but this is not unusual. Then at about 9:40ish the security people came in and told us that we all had to leave, they would refund us and those who had student cards at the bar (to get pool queues and the white ball) would need to come back another time to get their card, but that we all had to leave immediately! So as we were walking out we noticed that there was water dripping (well it was more than dripping, but not quite pouring!) from the ceiling of the side where the pool tables weren't in use.

We went down the stairs and got to the door and found out that it was raining, but not just raining absolutely pouring with thunder and lightning (sheet and fork!) Lee on the door told us that if we were leaving then we better leave then because it was the lightest the rain had been in the last hour! (you'd think that would put off the smokers, but oh no they were huddled together under a sheltered bit so that they could have their 'fix') We ran for the car, n i was like, but is a car a safe place to be? am i going to be ok to drive home? is it going to be safe to drive home? I voiced these concerns and was reassured that a car was a safe place to be because of the faraday cage which stops the electricity from hurting you, and the rubber tyres would ground the lightning. The worst that would happen would be that the power in the car would go out! We headed to Alastairs flat for refuge, it was only 10pm! Whilst there i txt my dad n watched like 2 seconds of Futurama! My dad said i should leave then as it had died down and wasnt actually raining!

So i drove home in the thunder and lightning that was still going on! Believe me it is worse than driving in the snow! I was so scared and pretty freaked out! but i made it to Bearsden only having to go through 2 floods in the roads. I then headed to the BB hall to help set up for the inspection 2moro night. The burn had burst its banks and was running down the road that i had to cross! A couple got out of a car on the other side and he gave her a piggy back across the water, it was so sweet until they started laughing at me tip toeing through the water holding my trousers at me shins! On the way back across the river of a road i saw a dead mouse, aww but euh!

Wow, that was a long story for you! sorry! It wasn't meant to be! but now i shall bid you farewell, re-print my assignment put it altogether and head to bed! Be careful out there tomorrow if the weather is still bad! tc n Gb x
