Thunder and heavy rain woke me up last night at about 1:30am. A total
of 9.0mm of rain. (Shoeburyness 6.0mm)

A storm passed about 3 miles to the north of here this afternoon - all
we got was about 30 seconds of heavy rain, though.

I was at Toddington steam rly stn , we had a storm that last for about
an hour from 15.45. Sheet lightning and torrential rain.
