Tom wow, I can remember that storm, I was a child, but that particular storm made tsuch an impression on me. I can remember the pressure building and changing - my ears were ringing as the storm was building.
My mum was looking out of the kitchen window, getting more and more.nervous - she was never normally bothered about storms, but as you say, it literally want from day to night. She grabs us kids and ran to a neighbours house and we literally just made.it. The sound of the thunder was like a bomb going off house was shaking, the lightning constant. The rain was like a monsoon - when it fell. Never seen anything like that in the UK until July 2015/2016. Even then, that was at night. Yes, those charts so look similar.
