Default Folkestone... !!!!

Just come out the other side of the most extreme storm I have yet seen. 8pm
to 9pm BST. Nearly continuous lightning. Looked like an erratic strobe
light. Averaging more than once a second. And RAIN!!!

Just finished bailing out the kitchen, the bath filled with drain water,
toilet too... Now receding.

The most active, wettest storm with huge cross gusts at ground level.
Sideways rain that made breathing an interesting exercise while I lifted
drain covers to rod them (to no avail in the end....).

Still rumbling away out there.

Bugger!!!
