TS in the Penn area of Wolverhampton

Times approx.

From 16.00 to 17.30 light rain off and on. 17.30 to 18.00 torrential
rain. 18.00 to 19.15 heavy rain lessening until stopped at about 19.15.
Thunder heard from 16.30. Frequent T & L from 17.20 to 18.05. Four
loud bangs of thunder (Rumble ain't the word!) that shook the house.

Strangely when I got back home at Wednesfield 6 miles away it was bone dry.

I saw on the MO RADAR that the storm developed and died of in virtually
the same area. Presumably because of very little wind.

When people say that TS are cracking, the storm I’ve just experienced I
would call terrifying, and vicious

Dry all day down here. The sun disappeared after about 17.00, but we
didn't get a spot of rain, which actually rather surprised me. Until
about 18.00 there were rumbles now and again from the north, though they
never came particularly close. I wasn't able to get high enough up to
look for distant lightning.

Some sad news that bears out your point: a teenage boy is critically ill
in hospital after being struck by lightning in Small Heath Park.
