I hear thunder

???⛈? tea and cake

Is that where it is Tea and cake, in Brum? ⚡️⚡️⚡️

I could hear the distant and continuous thunder and hoped it wasn’t headed back here but it only rumbled in the distance.

Well, it is near here so could be anywhere, slightly North West of Brum I think, but there have been some bad flash floods..

And has been as dark as night...

We had to walk home from daughters wedding last night ( no taxis)
The walk was over 2 miles but all along the sea front: A-ma-zing!! I think it was the only thing that kept me going, or was it the G&Ts.

Thunder clapped, lightening flashed⚡
Power went off!
Storm has now moved on.
Thankfully Power back on.

petra Sounds like a wonderful end to an eventful day.

Not sniff or rumble here, south of Preston, can we have yours. I appreciate the dogs going bananas but I like thunder storms.
Weird I know..

You would be welcome to it Stormy! Fortunately the dog is storm and fireworks proof, doesn't turn a hair, but what a storm! Thought it was never going to end, and it's still very misty this morning. There were some roads impassable in the city but we are on high ground here...phew

We had lots of thunder here, too in Central Europe and some rain. We were all driving home from our weekend away, having celebrated DS2's wedding, and DiL1 was on her own with DGS.

DiL is terrified of thunder and any big bangs (first thing she did when she arrived at the party was get us to hide the balloons) but she tries hard not to pass it on to DGS. However, he was covering his ears at the sound of thunder, but didn't seem too committed to doing it.

What a day it's been here in Kent !

Terrific storms, floods all over, no trains from our station and they can't lay on buses as the road is impassable. Herne Bay rail station underpass flooded. M2 flooded.
Our town is actually marooned at the moment.
Glug, glug..........
