Well guys - it was on BBC main news and it looked incredible. I've never

I recall similar pictures in the newspapers from one August in the 50s.
Streets full of hail with large drifts. I can't remember where it happened
but have a vague thought - PROB10? - that it was Brighton.


Tunbridge Wells, August 1956.

Also similar event Padstow a couple of years back when piles of hail
were washed through the town
