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.
