Thunderstorms

The midwest in the US has some great ones, since coming to New York sate, no real storms (in midwestern standards), been here like 3 years only 1 F0 tornado that we know of. Back in Illinois one storm might have 10ish tornadoes (not one a F0). 1 great thing though is 99.99% of the time it gets what they say is hot is a cool summer day in the miwest. In New York state 85 F is hot, lot better than uper 90s with a heat index of 105. I remember one day at the park back before moving here, heat index was 115!!!

Nottingham photos look about right, I drove to work instead of getting the train/bus replacement service to avoid getting soaked walking to the station.
Got into my car at 5, 5.10 the rain started, by 5.15 it was torrential, couldn't see even with wipers on full speed. Didn't encounter anything like those photos because I wasn't driving through the centre itself, but there were streams running down the road which I could feel making my car unstable even sat still, was a little worried I'd start going down the hill backwards!

I've never heard thunder anything like what I heard in the early hours of this morning, it honestly sounded like bombs going off one after the other.
 
Thunder and lightning last night in London was something else, kept me awake for a bit. Impressive show.
 
Ive been in Nottingham city centre all day today, didnt see any of that and I drive past Mansfield road (above) on the way home. Loads of manhole covers up and roads washed away though, must have happened really fast.

Out in west London absolutely nothing last night. :(

There were a couple of rumbles of thunder the night before at about 4am though.

I want something fun!
