Just had four hours of thunder and lightning. It's still pouring here now. There have been flash floods about 15 miles from here this afternoon, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two locally.

It was so bad even my OH switched the TV off, which is unusual in itself.

We've just had a bit of dark cloud which has gone now. See you should move to Wales

No rain, just brilliant sunshine.

*grins* move to where Claire ?

Same in London Teresa. I have lived in this house for 47 years
and have never seen the road flooded before.

It has come over very dark again now and looks as if we are in for even more rain (:

just started in yarmouth

We have had thunder and lightning in Gwent South Wales

Shirl

The storm has just started here ( I'm right on the East coast in Norfolk ).

Hello Trinity : )

Sorry you are all getting rain and storms ..... I am currently watering my borders, because we havn't had rain for some time now :)

hi amanda

hows you hun?

Great day.
Pleasantly warm, dry and still brilliant blue sky out there.

Gwyn....not far from Channel coast.

Amanda and Trinity, you're getting what we had in Norwich. It's stopped raining now, just about and we've got some weak yellow sun brightening things up. I dont' know how long it will last though.

Claire, it was welsh type rain for sure. It's been ages since I saw a downpour like that, and I think I was in Wales on holiday last time I saw it LOL

I'm good thanks Trinity..........hope your good too .

I've just been looking out of my window , spotting frogs in the rain.......lol

Hello Teresa.........it sounds as if you got hammered a bit then .

It's pouring with rain here and the storm seems to be getting closer . Hopefully it will wander off and do its business in the North Sea.

I must add my OH hasn't turned the TV off.......lol

Evening All,
It left us in Lincoln about 5 and is now hitting Manchester area according to no1 daughter.
I have only just dared switch back on from lunch time and I can hear rumblings again. flipping heck!
Forgot to ask.. Did you get some biggish hail stones as well? noisy beggars they are.

I must admit, I could hear it rumbling in the distance at about 3.00pm, and seeing the news, that must have been what they got in Watton, causing the flash floods.

It's very slow-moving though.

no hailstones here LWD, though there were huge raindrops lol

The storms have now swept across the vast plains of Essex, no need to water the garden this week.
