    bouncing off the ground here in Staffs, great stuff. Half a mind to go out riding in it, I love extreme weather.
    The lightning is making the whole sky light up and the thunder is shaking the building.

    I’m sat in Edale signalbox and can hear the distant rumbles but it’s all taking place on the other side of the hill! 🙁

    Was interesting on the Ducati today riding the horseshoe pass in it. Never has a sportsbike gone around corners that slowly before. Sun was cracking the flags when I left the house for my 1 ride a year.

    Wow, it’s made it over the hill and is hitting hard. Absolute mayhem!

    Wet commute from Manchester to Stockport that, helped push a car out of a foot of water near Parrswood, local brook is up by about 1.5m, all after I sent an email assuring a client that extreme rainfall hardly ever occurs and that it’s unlikely that their car parks will flood in heavy rain… Looking forward to the phone call tomorrow…

    cycled in this morning, chickened out and got a lift back! To be fair it was flooded and horrible everywhere, so glad of the lift.

    the wife’s still out!

    I thought indoor bogs had made it up there. Evidently not. Hope she’s got enough paper.

    Just got home to find the TV on.
    More peculiarly, a Roberts Radio that has a rotary power/volume knob was blasting away too?!?

    Asda in Burnley took a direct hit, roof’s partially collapsed.

    Just managed to get through Cliviger Gorge, but it’s flooding badly between Portsmouth and The Ram.

    I just witnessed the mother of all lightning storms travelling back towards Manchester on the M62 from milnrow. Just been out on the bike for a few hours from Hollingworth lake which we couldn’t have timed better as the first rain fell as we got back to the car.

    It threatened rain earlier when we were doing the Gunneraide Gill loop and thundered once but the lightning now is continuous! One hell of a storm!

    It was stupidly hot earlier though.

    I think a tree got hit on the big roundabout in Rawtenstall as well, leaves everywhere and a big chunk of branch down. Drive up the M66 was harrowing from Manchester, so dark at 6pm.

    It was like the end times in Macclesfield about two hours ago. I was outside poking a drain with a piece of bamboo trying to get the water flowing down it. It was getting a bit too close to the house. Came back in to my toddler running around laughing and shouting boom, daddy, boom 🙂

    That wasn’t a pylon.

    Boom, tish.

    thunder and lightning then. Why didn’t you just say so. 🙂

    If its any consolation up here we’ve had the loveliest sunset I’ve seen in a long time.

    Arran on fire in the distance

    phone pics don’t convey it really 🙁
