Well what an afternoon, we had gone shopping in brilliant sunshine and came out to this at 3pm.
I happened to say to Chris if those clouds touch we are in for one heck of a storm.
I looked over the water to this.
The little black dot you can see on the right is a sailing boat.
We got home just as the thunder and lightening started, the heavens opened and it poured, we sat in the car not wanting to brave the rain to take in the shopping but it just kept falling, flashes of lightening from all around us and the thunder cracking just after it.
We sat around 20 minutes then Chris’s alerter for the fire brigade went off, he has just got back and there were two houses struck by the lightening and then another call out to a house that was flooded.
Thankfully it has now calmed down.
Wow! it looks like the storm we had this morning. we only had one thunderclap though!
ReplyDeleteBusy day!!!

ReplyDeleteWOW this really looks bad. I sure don´t hope you´re passing it on over the sea to us here too LOL. We can deal very well without this kind of weather here.
ReplyDeleteIt was like that here in Warrington too Jak. Now we have thunder and lightening.

ReplyDeleteGosh Jak - what an ordeal to go through. Looks like such scary stuff but with a hero at your side I'm sure you coped. Congrats to Chris for all his help.

We had it too, went out to try and deliver some cards to the shop, drove through mini floods on the roads where the drains couldn't cope only to find I had the closing time wrong and it was too late!
ReplyDeleteGlad it's all calmed down now and Chris is home safe and sound.

I think we just got your storm! Nasty business, hope all is well!
ReplyDeleteThe weather could not make it's mind up in Battersea either !!
ReplyDeleteI went to pets at home with hubby (in the car) to buy our dog his first harness & lead. The rain had come down so hard it had knocked on the dirt out of the paving.
Where the hell is our SUMMER !!!
