WOWZERS, not seen or heard a storm this big for a while. Anyone had a look outside?

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Was going mental here, apparently it was isolated to around the NW.

Just down the road in Southport their were two houses hit by lightening, one set on fire

Also heard reports of a tornado around here too.

Monday afternoon was quite bad near Worcester. I had the greyhounds in the back of the car so I had to turn the stereo volume up to distract them from the thunderstorms.

i slept through this not surprised, a while ago a house in burscough was hit and apparently there was a big fuck off bang which then set car alarms and all sorts off. people heard the bang up to 3/4 miles away, whilst i, being 150 yards away heard nothing and slept through the whole thing
