Here in downtown Woodford Green ,suburban Essex,we clocked up 8.9mm during a
dawn thunderstorm. There was further thunder late am in a further passing
shower .
The thunder was long roaring sound that seemed to cross the sky in a wave

emptying their bath)

Hah! Ron- someone with the same name as yours got a letter in,I
