If you haven't had it yet - and you live in the West Country - it's on it's way!!.....Had to come downstairs again - the noise was tremendous......and I have never seen such rain!!

Same here in Worcs... :(

Blimey Jules - wonder who got the brunt of it then!! The road opposite our house is on a hill and the water was absolutely gushing down there and the lightning! Wow! All gone quiet here now - got me cuppa. LOL The computer was playing up earlier - would it have been affected by a storm??? Magsxx

Ok in west sussex......oh ek!!!

We have had a terrible storm here in Stoke started about 3am and then really got going about 5am, lets hope now that it is out of the way summer can start. Linda

Been up for an hour and just opened up on GR. If we had a storm in Harlow I slept through it. Ground is quite dry so I can only assume we didn't have one.

It wont bother us here in Manchester because we are on the 'Gulf Stream'. Dave

Too true Julie, SHMBO said to me, go down and see how Megan is, she might be frightened. ( Our 9 month old puppy, never been in a storm before) the dog wasnt bothered in the slightest!!! LOL Bob

Mags, what part of Bristol are you in? We did not have it too bad, lots of lighteneing buut not much thunder, a few bursts of heavy rain, then it was gone. It looked like it came from Thornbury, then just slunk off again.

Morning Mags, watered the garden a treat! hope it stays dry now, I'm watching the flowers grow! :))

I heard a giant clap of thunder in the night, it woke me up. I half expected the kids to run in scared. But I dont think Harlow saw much of it as I dont remember hearing any more. Elaine x

Morning Ann - I've just crept out of bed! - We're in Staple Hill. I suppose it started not long after 1am. I'd gone to bed in disgust because the computer kept losing connection. The thunder was an almost continuous rumble - no huge seperate claps of thunder but a constant loud crashing. It was the rain that got me up again - the noise of the cloudburst outdid the thunder! Christine - Watered the garden?....daren't look outside - mine's probably washed away! LOL Magsxx

It started in Warwickshire about 02.30. Lashings of rain , but not much t/l.

Sorry about your disturbed sleep folks but I'm glad we didn't get that storm as grandson is camping with the cubs. Last time they camped, the hailstorm was so fierce that the tents had water gushing through and in the nearby town all the new cars on a showroom forecourt had to be repaired because the hailstones were so large they had caused dents. I hope you have a good day and a peaceful night.

There was rain in North Herts. But didn't hear a storm. Very muggy (humid) here and was overcast although the sun has just come out. Hope everyone has a brilliant day. Viv

Julie........ME TOO! I was in bed and heard the 'rolling thunder'. Then the lightning came, beautiful it was. I just love watching them. My mum God Bless her, was so very afraid of storms. She used to hide under the stairs. Deanna

Apparently there was a storm here in Gloucester but we slept through it!! Ann Glos

Mags, we are quite close to the Aerospace playing fields in Filton and could see the lightening towards Henbury golf course, but it was not too bad here. My sister lives in Kingswood and she had it bad over there too. You must have taken the brunt of it!!!!!

I Love storms...... Wish we could have a storm...its just drizzling pathetically up here in Sunderland... :( Anitax

Will someone please tell me what a storm is we haven't had rain for so long we can't remember what it is like, if you don't want it over there send it to us please. Love Cilla from Oz. xxx
