Rain intensified somewhat again, lightning still continues and thunder
still well within earshot.
Heard from a friend that the town of Bellshill (5 miles west of here) had
hail much larger than marbles for a time.
Also about half a mile along the road from here there is a vacated bus
straddling the road strangely. Don't see any signs of damage, or anyone
around to ask. Lightning strike or simple breakdown (probably the latter)?
Mobile networks are down also.
I think some areas of the central lowlands will have taken a hammering from
this one, and we've got off lightly for a change in Wishaw.

It remained warm and dry all day in Troon!
