Default [WR] Thunder Bournemouth Sat 22nd July

Yeh, I have never seen it get so dark so quickly in Bournemouth town centre,
just before the heavens opened. It was pitch black. People were coming out
of the shops and staring upwards in disbelief. Just before the rain started,
the wind got up very quickly and swept up sand into the town centre from the
beach. Not sure if it was the ionisation of the air or something, but 15
minutes before all of this I came over very strange ! Anyone else get this
sort of premonition ? All quiet now at 13:40. Sun should be out soon, I
think. Wow, that was something else.. !
