Thunderstorm last night in milton keynes from 11:50pm until 1:30am, some loud thunder and heavy rain. All the lightning was IC & CC, didn't even see one CG.
Nice suprise though, and a bonus as it thundered on me birthday.... Yipeeeeee!!!!
Only just been able to report. Haven't got internet where i'm staying now. So i'm making reports from parents house.
Started looking iffyin milton keynes about 6:30Pm, sat looking out the patio window watching three small clouds grow into huge narrow towers. After 30 mins 1 of the towers developed a large striated anvil. Then all hell broke loose for nearly 45mins. Hardly any rainfall, but loads of IC and CG lightning and booming thunder.
Was great.
Also the first thunderstorm of the year.
Giant Hail. Well there goes the deposit on the rental cars. <_< Just tell them you were hijacked by a gang of volatile midgets armed with tack hammers!!! LMAO :lol:
Those photographs of the anvil crawlers are truly amazing ozzie
I bet the thunder was deafening with lighting bolts that large? How an earth did paul sleep through that???? lol :o
Glad to hear you have all arrived safe and well, hopefully you'll get some good storms building on monday to make a great start to this years tour :lol:
