Sussex police confirm they have received a complaint about the effigy used at Lewes bonfire earlier http://www.sussex.police.uk/whats-happening/latest/news-stories/2014/11/05/police-investigate-lewes-bonfire-effigy-complaint

Well at least your bonfire will be more seasonal, watching people walking around in shorts and t-shirts at our local one a couple of weeks back was just weird. Hope your display goes well.

Scale on the GPS gets changed to accommodate the spikes.

Love this little corner of the world, has everything you could ask for IMHO, yet close enough to big cities if you ever feel the need for them.

Few flashes and rumbles

Interesting update from IMO report today "Energy of the geothermal areas in Bardarbunga is now few hundred megawatts and the melting of water is estimated around 2 cubic meters per second." I think the translation has gone a bit skewy and it should state melting ice, worrying times ahead. http://en.vedur.is/media/jar/Factsheet_Bardarbunga_20141031.pdf

I see London City airport has hit 23c.

Another tree fallen on someone in Belgravia, London.

Pictures from block of flats hit by lightning last night http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/11527399.VIDEO__Spectacular_lightning_strikes_buildings_across_Sussex/

Glad they're ok

Think it was about 7.15 we had some lightning overhead and lights flickered a bit here, scary tho eh.

Diplocks estate. Police were turning vehicles around at Western Road's junction with Sussex Avenue.

It does bring it home a bit when it's on your doorstep

BBC South East @bbcsoutheast Six fire crews are currently tackling a fire in a block of flats in Hailsham after it was struck by lightning earlier this evening

Looks like a block of flats was struck by lightning in Hailsham, being in the sticks no news service seems to have twigged, only information I can get is from Facebook "It appears to have struck one corner/side of the building, collapsing the roof. Flames have been seen at various top floor windows, the fire brigade are trying to contain it from both sides. At first there were people still inside certain flats but it seems they were evacuated pretty quickly. I don't think there are any ambulances on scene but certainly many fire engines and the police are turning vehicles around at Western Road's junction with Sussex Avenue." and from East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service 09 October 2014 19:18 42011830 PERSONS REPORTED HAILSHAM http://www.esfrs.org/stations/incidents.shtml BBC South East @bbcsoutheast Six fire crews are currently tackling a fire in a block of flats in Hailsham after it was struck by lightning earlier this evening

Brickfielder I wouldn't read too much into those eq you listed 1.1 depth is a holding depth that Iceland Met Office place on them until they are verified. You can tell when they have been manually verified when the last number reads 99 and even then they are subject to change.

Lol Martin just seen reports of a 'mini tornado' in Medway http://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/news/freak-downpour-causes-flooding-and-24844/

Seems Medway had some 'interesting' weather this morning, and our favourite term 'mini tornado'!! http://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/news/freak-downpour-causes-flooding-and-24844/
