Default [WR] Thundery Leeds

Where R U Graham?. Do U know Rothwell? What a rain storm that was, just been
for drive. Roads flooded that I have never seen flooded b4. Manhole covers
out of there places and tarmac ripped up around them. Wow. Still thundering
but rain now eased off. Temp fell to 18C but now rising again, back up to
19C. Strange weather.

Ill second that Brian, I have never before witnessed rain as heavy as this
in Leeds, my front lawn is under 1/2 foot of water and the drains simply
cannot cope with the sheer amount of water.
Reports are coming in that tarmac is being forced up on roads all over

Leeds
as well.

Certainly a memorable night is this!!
