Biblical Downpore

[PeteB]

In the Shepshed area we have just had a down-pore of biblical proportions. My garage used to flood until the council came to fix the drains. I knew within a couple of minutes of watching out of the window that it was time to get a brush to push the water away but gave up after 5 minutes. Had about 4 inches of water in the garage to clear up and I'm in the middle of an engine rebuild so there is bits everywhere just to add to the fun. Hailstone the size of marbles fell which made being out in it painful too!

[RobRainford]

We had a couple hours heavy rain and thunder and lightning yesterday. Nothing like that though!

Weather runs in cycles, in 1983 during a Five day period we had 27" of rain, I am sure it will happen again and usually does all over the planet.

It happen soon after 18:00 this evening! Apart from one patch, the water has disappeared apart from that which is in the garage:001_huh:

Mental rain/thunder/lightning in north London on Saturday afternoon. Had just come out the Spurs game and on route to Acton when the heavens opened. Was hoping it was doing the same at work seeing as we have recently sown a new field. Would love some rain down these parts, we're gasping!
