Yup was a pretty grim storm here Saturday afternoon. I had the misforturne to be out walking in shorts & teeshirt. It got very dark before the rain & lightning- first time I've seen the streetlights come on during a summer afternoon.

Glad no-one was hurt at Billing. I understand the emergency services here in Warks were busy with a couple of CG's.

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?

112 and first medic paniced and just called in the Cavilery. I dont say I blame them tbh. As I said to Old joe, Another 10/15 mins of the main part of the storm and it may have been a different matter.

Jakes pic misses me about 3 foot to the right hanging onto may gazebo trying not to do a mary poppins :)

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 got soaked through at Rossington yesterday, the heavens opened and everyone dived into the superstore i was delivering to to escape the rain. I ran 30 feet and ended up dripping wet...There was actually a lightning strike just up the road from us about 200 yards, it was amazing as the water on the road actually glowed from the strike. On top of this the roof of the shop was leaking...or should i say wide open :shock: within 5 mins the water was 3-4 inches deep. I left during the rain and roads all around were at least a foot deep in water and a few roads were closed due to damage. One junction i came to at the bottom of a hill had a spout of water shooting up approx 7 maybe 8 feet in the air out of a manhole and all the road surface around it was damaged and washed out. what a day...
