Thunderstorms

[Suarez7]

Went to the shops for a pint of milk in me shorts and tshirt.

Came out and it was barelling down with rain, thunder, lightning, ran home (5 minute run I'd guess) and I was soaked to the bone.

Not long been dry when I get a phonecall from my female friend "Please help, the garage is flooding".
On with the wellies and wet weather gear it is, out into the storm. Nightmare.

Nothing like being the white knight eh

I'd of told her where to go haha

Heatwave coming back this Thursday but only for few days. But August look like a washout month!

It isn't looking like a washout month at all! There is lots of potential for heat to return this month, of course there will still be the odd cooler/wetter days but definitely not a washout (at least how things look at the moment)

What can I say, I'm a sucker for a lovely pair of floury baps and a cup of tea

Got this over us right now, but we Always get storms here due to the altitude. I didn't take this pic I stole it from a friend on FB.

Some nice flashing and cracks of thunder.

We had a cracking storm Saturday night.

It's the best, someone needs to capture it down to a t and bring it out as an air freshener

Just finished bucketing that away.

Was absolutely torrential. Even harder than the storm we had up here last year, but lasted for about 5-6minutes. Seems to have moved along with the storm behind it, over the sea.

Pictures coming...

Thank god it was only a few minutes, I remember flying back into Newcastle airport during that bad spell last year and the landing was horrible, plane was moving all over and it hit the ground pretty hard.

Thundering in Wakefield pretty good sounds too.

Brother says golfball like hailstones in Castleford. Guessing they will be incoming (I hope).

Why would anyone want hailstones like that? They can damage cars pretty badly.
