Let's put things into perspective once and for all (our sanities) lol.
Next time you see a severe super cellular storm outbreak, anywhere on the planet, be it on any lightning or rain radar just look either side of the frenetic action? Not a single strike or drop of rain only a matter of miles away. Nothing diddly squat. Yet they were probably still under severe weather warnings.
We, UK, belong to the very same planet and storms at best can be unpredictable at worst a right pain in the proverbial. Nothing wrong with being disappointed if you miss out but whine?
