It's 107, what in tarnation

Wonder if I should make smoothies again. Bet Cosmic wouldn't mind, since they can eat normally again after getting a tooth removed.

I'm glad I don't have that kind of hot right now. Maybe 101-2 here but not wore.

It was still a fair bit away but yeah you never know. I wonder if something metal was on that roof to attract it, I don't see why it would just be conducted by roof slates at random.

Quite probably… Or else maybe it was really wet?

Well it's currently dark out but also overcast so I can't see the Moon

Oh well yeah I guess that's true, one of the most obvious things that water conducts it.

At least it does when it has dissolved ions, which rainwater does, and it can pick up more from a roof!

I guess they were older houses too on top of all that, not that our house is exactly new either.

It’s currently a nice cool 11 degrees in where I live, haven’t had it this cool since may it’s nearing the end of the summer and I can’t wait for winter!

(That’s 52 Fahrenheit if Jonster was curious)

Where do you live again?

My room reads 88 Fahrenheit right now.

Iirc, he was from England, right?

I seen a video today regarding this that someone in a car recorded, and it confirmed what I thought. I was looking at the image the other day and thinking "where is the chimney", thinking maybe that's what was struck. The video I seen confirmed this, as the person in their car recording it showed the pieces of chimney all over the road, stating "blew the whole fuckin' chimney all over the road, look!".

I assume they probably had one of those chimney guards to stop birds landing on it, and it got struck, blew the chimney up, and managed to ignite something within the foundation such as the insulation or wooden beams (since lightening is extremely hot). If it wasn't a guard, possibly some sort of antenna being attached to the chimney. I don't know how else it could happen, since roof slates aren't exactly flammable.

Oh yeah, that'll do it all right! Really makes you think how unprotected so many homes are…

At home it is quite cool since it is morning but I am still hot (probably because I am sick)

Oh that’s pretty unfortunate! What is the temperature outside in France?

Well the temperature's starting to lower now today, but now we have a fire warning! What the heck!

It was fairly nice out today here, but also a lot colder ironically.

It’s 10 Celsius here, about to get down to 9 for the first time since April or May

Sorry for double posting even tho it’s been a while, but it’s getting to 30°C (87°F) during this week IN SEPTEMBER, the hottest it has been since early June, even tho that’s rookie numbers for Jonster
