Storm in a Tea Cup.

This is the last of the flood water draining out of a local supermarket carpark. It rained for about 1hour then stopped, the effect to the local roads as well as my garden was unreal. A few hours later it was almost all gone. A real storm in a tea cup

That's just daft!!! It's been scorchio down here in Gloucestershire for several days now...a few rumbles last night, but no rain (unless I've been asleep) let alone hail!! Good shot of the car-park plug hole!!

Is that snow I see? Good reportage. Thankfully it's been sunshine here although
although it won't last.

We missed all the fun, just a few rumbles and flashes, you'd think it was avoiding us!!!

We had that around 8.30 this evening, it was quite scarey but exciting!

Very well seen. These are the kind of storms that put fear and humility in you.

The crossroad at Tindale Crescent was more like Stanhope ford! I saw people clearing their paths with snow shovels and two miles away it was completely dry. Must be summer.

As long as it doesn't get in the house, I was on Michelle's motorbike and got a good soaking.

Great shot and story, we had a massive storm also, lightning took down all the phone system and PCs, amazing the power of nature.
