Radar returns have looked vicious. Jon. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG We were caught in it. We could see it coming over black clouds and a few rumbles of thunder in the distance too. Got in the car and set off. After about 2 or 3 mins hail was hammering the car so hard we couldn't even hear each other shout. I'm surprised there isn't and paint or body damage to the car actually. We pulled the car over under a bridge until it passed. A few other people did too. Managed to get a couple of photos on my phone. (only a little nokia 7250). This is the road when the hail had more or less stopped falling http://www.zen16617.zen.co.uk/pboro%20storm%201.jpg Dad said it felt like driving on a road surface covered in marbles. The traction control was constantly cutting in. Once we'd got to Tesco I took this of a car which must have been parked there throughout the whole thing. http://www.zen16617.zen.co.uk/pboro%20storm%202.jpg |

I know of several cyclists in mid-Norfolk who got pelted by significant chunks of hail this afternoon, metaphorically drowned in the torrents out of the sky, and many a puncture was sustained due to flints & stones in run-off from the fields, including a certain offspring who punctured on way from HQ to start of time trial. Indeed many a narrow lane was turned into a river bed (not joking!). Lovely rainbow though :-) Cheers. |
