Could not get to sleep last night. 0205 woken by heavy rain. Then at 0330
thunderstorm started and now at 0745 it is still going on ! Almost
continuous
loud thunder and lightning and so far 25.4 mm rain and rain rate 1.0 mm/h
. At
0405 we had a terrific bolt of C-G which took out the power for about 10
minutes. (I had already switched the PC off by then). At 0630 I saw a
shelf
cloud looking SW which looked like something out of a movie with rotation
evident. Another massive C-G which I had to admit frightened me a bit as
it was
so close. Power stayed on at that time. Now the darkest area is to the
east, the
street lights still seem to be on in the distance and it is eerie seeing
the
blackness. It might be coming to an end now but the storm is still
rumbling on.
Thought it would be OK to put PC back on, but now switching off again.

0745

OK I'm back to bed, I'm completely knackered, but strangely satisfied :-)
