When thunder & lightning around even if it's not raining it's time to call it a day. Carbon fibre poles are good electrical conductors. Sacked it early Monday afternoon owing to lightning nearby.

He’s right about the poles, I wouldn’t use one in the thunder and lightening……
I was pressure washing and sacked it off due to lightening bolting around the sky, am not being struck for no one, it’s a one way ticket to no were……

Recently up in blackpool a young kid was killed by lightening while he was playing football so it happens

Got caught in the middle of an electrical storm this afternoon, absolutely crapped myself, really not a pleasant experience at all.

If you didn’t work before and after we’d never get anything done at all but like you I never turn up in the rain and start cleaning,plenty of places to park up and wait for it to stop.
