Great reports, but no pics or vids?

I was tucking into a full English Breakfast at Morrison's at the time and it didn't cross my mind when running from the slowest automatic revolving doors in the world to my car. I wish I had got a video now though! I'm sure there will be more storms throughout the day so I'll keep my camera on standby.

Just to put my mind to rest on something.
Do Morrison's everywhere furnish their full English brekkys with half a slice of fried brick you cant actually cut through but could do someone damage with? It could be just mine.

Haha, yes they do! I think it's their way of making sure the crusts don't go to waste. Personally I think it's a false economy as it soaks up twice as much vegetable oil

Internet is back, vids will be 5 mins, has anyone else got any pics and vids to share?

I'm in Leicestershire. Hour solid of rain, thunder and lightning.


One

Two

Three

We're high up on hills too so how it flooded this bad is beyond me. Our office ceiling also started leaking, good job there was nothing red in the gutter otherwise it would have looked like blood coming down the walls :/

No vids or pics here, but it's been raining constantly for days and the sky is very grey...looks and feeling much more like November. Heavy rain forecast but whether or not that means storms..I dunno.

Going back to your first post....you talk about sky noises. Do you mean thunder? Continuously for 7 minutes? Or something else...I'm not sure what you mean.

Am looking forward to the vid.

I presume it was thunder but it sounded just like the video of the roaring noises around the world, it didn't come and go like thunder it was constant and generally made me very nervous!

My mind, on that matter is now at peace.
All I need to do now is find out exactly how they manage that hard leathery bacon perfectly every meal day in, day out.. Doesn't matter if I'm first customer of the day. It must take some skill that.

I can confirm that at our Morrisons too, you would take it home in a doggy bag if not for fear of getting arrested for carrying a deadly weapon.

I think it's because after they fry it they put it in a warm oveny type thingy until a customer orders it.

Glad I could help. By the way, that's not 'bacon' it's 'bacon*' if you read the small print, you will see that it's actually a bacon substitute made out of recycled insoles.

I feel like this may slightly be dragging the thread off topic so apologies to the OP. Looking forward to the vids

guess it would help if i knew what England was supposed to look like in the summer.

Still thats pretty bad amigos....kinda freakish wouldnt ya say? I think maybe someone is trying to tell us something.

I know! We should build an ark!

That sounds terrifying actually. Did you manage to get any of that on the video too? I was aware of that earth hum thingy very strongly last night and this morning, probably not connected at all, but I don't hear it so much in this house. My last house...it was almost constant and drove me mental.


Ah yes...Morrisons breakfasts...the textures are achieved by deep frying and microwaving everything. I'm sure they would deep fry beans if they could get away with it. Then they sit the results under a heat lamp for minumum six hours, Yum!

The rain suddenly got much heavier here, by the way...must go find camera and hope for thunder.

You're not dragging it off-topic, it's another British weather thread, I look forward to these, storms, beer and bacon (and pot noodles). Love it

Apologies for the brekky tangent, but my weather is quite boring at the mo.
Shame really, I like thunder.

Well, there was some media noise last year that a Dutch guy who built a replica of Noahs ark was planning on sailing it to Britain for the Olympics... Hmmmm... Maybe he knew something...

www.metro.co.uk...

Sunny and hot here in Stockport!

Vids are up, some reason the photos are not showing up


Edit

Got them working, everythings up, anyone else with any thing please share!

I read on FB this morning that we could be in for tornados, 65mph winds and 4mm diameter hail.
The link was for torro.org (I think) a tornado watch site...
But the met office and BBC only warned of severe downpours, yellow and amber warnings (amber was for n.Ireland)... And warned of surface water dangers...
Unless its been updated since?

I think the conditions are right for tornadoes but the metoffice never forecast them because they are so unpredictable. I wouldn't be surprised to see tornadoes reported on this evenings news across the West Midlands in particular.

Oh pants....imageshack requires a log in, and I don't have time...will keep watching to see if you get them fixed here though.

Amber warning is still up, but it's not getting any easier out there. The ground is pretty much saturated here already so significant rain will cause problems. Bah.

Yes the one near me serves up something similar too, it's not just yours :-)

Could probably build a pretty sturdy Storm shelter out of Morrisions fried bread :-)
