Bother and blast I seemed to have missed a major storm this afternoon as
we were in Southampton. While we were there I commented to my friend
that a major storm was building up, little did I know it was going to
hit home.

Neighbours are full of talk of water lapping up against doors and lots
of lightening. I found a drain cover in the middle of my drive (where
did that come from?) Water butt was blown over. The poor tortoise Im
holiday sitting seems to have gone into shock.

Neighbour with a rain gauge reported 37mm in less than an hour.

I cant believe I missed it :(((((

Yes it was quite impressive, well the rain was anyway. Not much in the way
of T&L but very heavy rain for quite a prolonged period. Some of the
heaviest rain I've seen. I'd say the rain was 'very heavy' for a good 30
minutes. Some strong gusts associated with it too.

Thanks Brian. dh says that Church Rd was closed because of a broken
tree. Some flooding around the pondtail area too.
