Lots in Bristol

Was just coming home on the bike, fooking huge flash and clap of thunder right above me and I felt electricity jump from my finger, to the clutch lever, through a leather glove

Thought I was about to get 300,000 volts up my ass * * * *

Thunderstorms are still cool though

F***in' hell Mike. You spoke too soon. My house is in tatters. Two Tv's, two videos, three PC's, a router,phones, upstairs wring, alarm and the shower are dead.

I'm offshore so I don't know if the house was directly hit. I'm waiting for my wife to call and tell me the rest.

Frotunately, it's covered by insurance. *

Was pissing down in pompey earlier tonight!!

Youre better off looking at the Satellite pictures to work out where the storms are as the analysis and prognosis weather charts need a bit of interpreting and are often an approximation of the true complicated situation.
