I suspect that's a red herring because of the storms proximity to the
detector. There is even a stamenent saying as much in the site blurb.
I'd be interested to hear some accounts from that neck of the woods
though. I did listen to BBC Radio Solent online but there was no
mention of any ufn and games.

Rumbling quite nicely here in mid wales right now though. I think
welshpool and churchstoke are getting it fairly heavily.

Regards to all,

Rob.
