  1. We had a short but powerful storm earlier this afternoon, It started about 15.45 until roughly 17.00.

    There was very heavy rain with frequent loud thunder/lightning.

    A major electrical substation was struck by lightning in Stalybridge. This caused a power cut for a large part of Tameside, which included where I work and where I live aswell.

    Thankfully Power was restored about 17.00. But the traffic was bonkers because of the lights going down, on top of the surface water problems.

  2. Getting big blobs of rain here now.

    2 lightning strikes and a thunder so far.

    Earlier I was on the train from manchester City centre to where I live, I could see from the train window, to the south east how black the sky was, as the train was going along heading east.

    The sky looked quite dramatic and dark along the southern horizon with quite a distinctive ropey twisted patern to the clouds. And high up you could see the cloud tops which were dark grey.
