Was really bad here in Birmingham at 11am as well. So dark it was like night time. Rain so heavy there were flash floods everywhere! The most insane storm I have experienced in the UK!!

Same here, I can't recall ever hearing 25mins of constant thunder with no rain or lightning! It was very 'End of Days' like!  :laugh:

Apparently really bad rain in Newcastle.

Metro Centre





Lightening



^^^^ Aparently, the roof gave way  :surprised:

This was what I was driving through after work, about 2 miles from the Metrocentre



And that was only after 5 mins of rain!!! Took me an hour to go 6 miles....

More sand deposit on the car. Looks like the sand-cloud reached Edinburgh.

Had nothing down by London, been a humid day today.
Had the sand on my car first thing this morning, but no rain at all today.
I always miss the fun stuff.

Time for a rant me thinks....

Something that reeeeally gets on my wick in this country is the fact we do generally get crappy weather yet when it gets that slight bit worse than crappy the whole country seems seems to fall to bits. Airports shut, roofs falling in, floods, schools shut n so on. The government issue a warning n then go all limp noodle. Yet you look at canada n the US  for example who get it much worse than us jus crack on with it. N when it all passes we get 'well it took us by surprise, we werent ready for it' from our gracious leaders.
HEEEELLLLLO! FFS! Spend a few quid gettin ready for the unexpected. Really a scary thought wen you look at the bigger picture cos we're really quite vulnerable when the weather changes so how would we cope with a large scale act of terrorism? Or maybe if the banking systems were to av an 'eppy' n shut down. Holla all you natwest bankers!

British resilience.... Pfffft total joke annnnnnd WUSAAAAAAA  :innocent:

^^^^ You rant away there fella  :congrats:

The wife and I spent today (our anniversary) in Brighton doing a bit of shopping in The Laines, lunch in the Cote Resturant (outside in their garden), then strolled along the pier and finally listened to some bands in Royal Pavilion Gardens, oh and it was 28 degrees, a perfect day.

 Sorry for you peeps up north!!
