It was amazing, The hail was larger than golf balls!

Shame my merc is now covered in golf ball sized dents though... Will be like £2k to get that all fixed :(

Yep the sky went so dark that all the streetlights came on.

I work at Wickes Newcastle and we all went outside to see the lightning then the heavens opened and I've never seen rain like it. The wind started then too - like some kind of hurricane.

The rain probably lasted about 15-20 minutes which was enough to flood the entire store and we had to close! I've never seen it rain so heavy in my life! The whole of the outside of the store was surrounded by about a foots depth of water. The pressure must have been so high in the drains that it managed to push the manhole covers out of the ground in the car park which eventually caused all the water to drain away.

Crazy day.
 
Hailstones in the midlands - dented my bonnet, smashed a windscreen of one of the works vans, flooded out the trade counter loading bay.
