  1. Off camping tomorrow in Weymouth for a week, Hope to have good weather down there, Don't mind a little rain during the night just hoping the days are ok.

    Anyway BBQ every night with a few tinnies of course, CAN'T BE BAD !!!! Oh yes i'm sure the kids will love beach as well :rofl: See you when i get back....... HAPPY DAYS Posted Image

    Enjoy, I'm pretty sure that the warm if not hot bits shall make up for the MCS and rainier bits! A break is a break, get some sea air :)
  2. I spoke to someone today who lives in the north of Coventry whose neighbour had their roof destroyed by lightning yesterday around 6 pm :shok:

    Not good - must've been twelve or so at the time, playing at a mates house during one pretty vicious Summer storm - we were in the hall, right next to his glass embossed porch door..when an almighty flash then instant deafening boom! Made us jump like mad...Turned out a house only a block away had a direct hit, chimney adios...electrics ciao, phone line, tarrah..only then later to discover it was a friend of my folks? They said it was rather loud lol..remember it like it were yesterday.Anyone still awake zzzzz :)
  3. Indeed Bish..bit of a round trip, but hey..amongst the rumbles, flashes, initially from near W Newport, via Haughton..then storm Bloxwich way - finally near on 10 mins of complete, bonkers mayhem, near Albrighton/Codsall way, last totally as if by chance and sheer luck especially when I thought, surely there can't be more?

    Oh well, even if the northern folk hog all the storms tomorrow, I for one won't begrudge them, never do :) or anyone else for that matter. Unless they're say Dutch/German/Belgian or French hehe..

  4. Haha. :p I dont suppose when you say Curry house you mean Kaben at the top end of the high street if you have ever been through their before. Only voted one of the best curry houses in the Stourbridge area. :p :lol:

    The day we get a supercell, or near as damn it, we know where to possibly aim for, compare notes hehe..bit of track for me! If it also involves curry, popadoms, relish the thought :)
  5. Thundering down the M54, tea-time ish - had my TS fix to be fair, but something made me peel off at the A41 junction? few darkish bases looming large. Stopped for a quick resume of radar, hmmm, then a distant rumble? Still nothing spectacular, thunder got louder..instinct made me track back down the A41 towards Cosford..then boom! Pitch black, forked lightning, some intra cloud and boy one solid looking rain shield..

    Kept going south again lol..direction I'd just came from, hit the wall of water...10 mph now crawling in low vis, instant pools of water, several more bright flashes..it just came from nowhere. Upon closer inspection of radar this potent area was minuscule! A tiny small dot of torrents but boy did it stand out from today's fun and games. Timed that one to a tee, a rarity in itself. To think I was driving away from a storm sends shudders down my spine lol :)

  6. Incredible that! From nowhere...see the white/black pixelled area N Wton/Albrighton/Codsall area - truly mind boggling deluge..not kidding. A roads flooded, got caught in a back lane, not good! Had to do a u- turn...oh yeah CGs shotgun thunder and storm 4 lol..

    Just as I thought game over. Shiftnal atm, dark cloud facing west? Again? Surely no :)
