Wow! each time it refreshes, the strike count goes up a whole chunk :shock: What are the +CG, -CG, +1C and -1C references?

Has someone in the west midlands done something to upset a certain person 'upstairs'???  :lol: Right now, it looks like he's *really* angry!!

Trailmasters lost a 110 in the storm. Tree took it out. That was about 50 foot from the mud-club stand which Eeyore, Miss Roadrage, Scutter and their son helped hold down......

We are a bit wet. Apparently a non-touchdown tornado ripped through.....various flat caravans, missing tents, gazebos in tree etc.....oh joy.

It was really bad, we could see the clouds, so we made our way back to the car, on the way the rain started.  Boy was it good to watch from stood under the porchway to a hut on the site!  As we finally got to the cars there were all manner of response vehicles arriving, do you know what they were for anyone?

The show was good though, did anyone see the wedding, I told my girlfriend that we were going to do the same... I hope she starts talking to me again soon!

That's bad about the 110 & tent.
I thought I had problems running 300yards for the Mondeo at Xscape at about 18:00.
Still had wet undies after an hour sat eating in the Pizza Hut :roll:

I don't know what the + & - are for but the CG stands for "Cloud to Ground" as in a lightning strike from the cloud to the ground. I think the C is for in cloud lightning like when you get sheet lightning.  :wink:

Looking at this lot I'm quite glad I decided not to go to Billing this year.  :shock:
