Default [WR] Devon Storm

Very heavy rain with hail stones for the last 2 hours with frequent
lightning.

Lightning has been overhead and the thunder very loud. The lightning
revealing a world outside covered in hailstones.

Electricity has been going on and off since midnight.

26 mm of rain in the last two hours and 56 mm of rain since 18:00 yesterday.
And it is still pouring down.

Difficult trying to get any sleep in this.

running the 24 hour radar sequence on the SW (certainly on the
weatheronline one) shows a real pivot around the Exeter area, rather
impressive
