Telford and District-Current conditions. Torrential rain since mid afternoon. Grey,Grey sky all day. Since 4 July 2004 we have encountered 1 Tornado,as photographed and headlined in the Shropshire Star daily newspaper. A couple of day's later I photographed a funnel cloud in the sky, and on the morning of Saturday 10 July when out walking my dogs we encountered a near hurricane wind and then torrential rain and hail. Unfortunately, due to the fast movement of air we have relatively few thunderstorms but well in excess of normal rainfall. Summer, what's that?
