Brace yourselves gentlefolk on 20:22 - Jul 25 with 1332 viewsjeera There is thunder here also, but alas none of that watery stuff falling from the sky. I was hoping to go out and at least watch the magic, but according to the Met Office there's less than 5% bloody chance of it happening.

I am watching it approach on lightningmaps.org. Looks like Felixstowe has just been hit.

I was just pondering the accuracy of that website when 'bang' and a dot appears 50 yards from my house 3 seconds later. Strangely the dot has disappeared now though (even with the 1 hour filter on) so i can't zoom in to see the timestamp. [Post edited 25 Jul 2019 21:16]

It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub.
Brace yourselves gentlefolk on 21:22 - Jul 25 with 1197 viewsGeoffSentence Well I have enjoyed watching that. It is the first thunderstorm that I have been able to watch properly for about 13 years. Normally our dog goes frantic and we have to stop him trying to dig his way out of the house, but now that he is getting old and decrepit he seems to have given up on that.

It was certainly lovely out here in East Ipswivh, for well over an hour. Bit of welcome rain, some gusty winds, lots of lightning and thunder.

Started raining here half hour or so ago now. Still a bit trickling down - decidedly cool drops as it goes! The Met Office have refreshed their <5% chance to a flat 60%. Chancers.
Brace yourselves gentlefolk on 22:13 - Jul 25 with 1062 viewswkj I oddly miss tornadic storms from the US Midwest, the green sky and cricket ball sized Hail stones and the anxiety that that cloud hanging down might touch the ground. It might seem insane but that fear was exciting

You'd think they'd have like baseball sized hail over there wouldn't you. It's good they're embracing parts of our culture though. Positive stuff.

Well, softball sized Hail was the usual scarey one, I was rosetta stoning it for the good folks of TWTD
