Not here (yet) Honey, but it is so hot I think that something has to "let rip" soon ...

We had a massive thunderstorm last night between 10 & 11, the lightening was spectacular, it only rained for about 5 min though.

We had a bad storm at 3.30pm yesterday, it was very frightening, we had thunder, lightning, torrential rain and hailstones. Later on in the evening we lost internet, tv and phone connections. Then at 1am this morning we again had thunder, lightning and torrential rain. A lot of the flowers have lost their heads. It is getting dark again, we have been forecast for another storm.

tha22222 Annie for the pictures, unfortunately my internet is very slow today and they wont play, will try again tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing them.
Sorry Rosalind you lost your flowers, I had some potatoes growing well in a bag in the yard but the stems have broken with the force of the hailstones. Never mind, might get some baby potatoes for Sunday lunch.
I feel so sorry for the people who had structural damage to their homes. Thank goodness nobody was hurt.

we are still waiting for storms, my daughter had some in Worcester and said it has made the air so much fresher.
Not here in Norfolk, it is like you cannot breath.

The pollen count is high here today and tomorrow, a good storm will clear the air.

I have been reading in the paper how bad the storms have been..
I am glad you are safe.
