sorry to hear there could be houses on fire and fatalities that frightens me in a storm.

[MAF]

Nice brief, little storm there. Was like being in a car wash for a few minutes, few flashes in the distance. Nothing special, but certainly a perk! Almost derecho like!

remind me not to use your car wash

[Tom Jarvis]

All I had here is some strong winds no rorrenchal rain

Dreadful storm here a while back -didn't last long but as somebody else said like an almighty roar and torrential rain and wind -quite scarey for a few moments.

 

Mod thread not a pleasant place to be - have to wonder what these people are like in the real world when the weather causes such tantrums  and rows - we are all interested and have our weather preferences but really .......

well i've been around the forums for a while and no matter how many times i venture into the Model thread i never really understand why there is so much emotion there. i still, and always never will,  understand why some people think the models drive the weather.

as we've just seen, the squall that has passed us is a testimony as to how diverse and unpredictable the weather (mother nature) can be

[alexisj9]

Just gone through here, 3 flashes, very heavy rain, and two bins from the end of the road outside my house, don't know how strong the wind was, but that's the first time this year some else's bins have gone half way up the street.

6000 customers no power in TN28 & TN29, 900 no power in TN30, 990 no power in CM3, trains screwed up multiple signal failures due to lightning strikes!

[hernebaylooby]

Wow thunder lightening heavy rain hail strong gust! At last something intresting!

[Mike Storm]

44mph max gust here in Crayford almost as strong as Xmas eve eve was quiet exciting!!

[alexisj9]

Just looked at the meto model, it still has the easterly at 120, how do the mad thread know that 144 is a down grade, we don't ever see the frame after that. That signal may have been there yesterday for all we know.

[legrandefromage]

it was a monsoon for about 20 minutes - very mild, with a strange tang to the air. Then came the hail and now its quiet and calm. Quite a few rumbles of thunder - nothing loud but quite deep. Very odd for January, but then I remember thunder-snow about 8 years ago.
