... just to confirm sferics ... a couple of 'mid-level' rumbles; first one
around 09Z was distant and muffled, second around 0913Z had an initial
'crack' then drifted away to a rumble in the distance.

Rain since ~02Z, moderate bursts since 05Z, moderate, isolated heavy,
since 0730Z ... total rainfall 9 mm.

.... (1050Z): just come back from the shops / drowned rat comes to mind
.... 34 mm since early hours, with the bulk of that coming since 0730Z:
local traffic reports suggest many roads flooded and the local roads
here are having trouble getting rid of water - not helped by tree
debris blocking the drains!

Just been looking at the reports on this storm. Pretty frightening. Noticed
that part of Magna Road was blowing drain covers. That's where I lived back
in the 70's.
