its beens sunny here most of day ! although i do like a propa thunderstorm!

 

It's soooooo peaceful here now, you can hear the birds tweeting. But we had proper rain too, it was cool.

 

Quite pissed off really as it went all dark about half 5 and started booming with thunder, flashing lightning, and TORRENTIAL rain - so much so the M11 slowed to 30mph, but it's bright and sunny here

I fucking LOVE a good thunder storm! With that proper rain that lashes down bouncing a foot of the ground!

 

Watton, Norfolk was on the news, it was ace here, load sof places flooded out though, had 2 fire engines at bottom of estate for a hour or so, 3 houses flooded.
Water got into my new combi boiler and has fried it, so no hot water/heating till this afternoon, had real nasty hail as well, just came back from vets with doggy and had to get out into this, then out again, after I opened front door to let others in, to lock car up again.
Felt sorry for me mates lad who's fish pond overflowed so he was out in it catching all his koi.
Officially 1.4 inches in just over 1 hour.
