The storm due in the early hours was a little late in reaching us but made up for that in entertainment value. It passed by after a couple of hours but there are more due this afternoon.

Yes we had the same in Chabanais about 4/5 yrs ago, it left a huge trail of destruction, the queue outside the insurance office had to be seen to be believed, we live far enough away so we just had small hail stones. Even today if you are in Chabanais you can see a lot of roofs still covered in tarps, also some of the commercial buildings that were hit have replaced their asbestos roofs with metal sheeting, I suppose ready for the next time.

overcast today but 75.9F - but a lack of air makes it very tiring.

Yes, still quite a few un-renewed roofs in Chabanais. The storm back then left us relatively unscathed, but secon home friends with a hire car had a big bill from the hire company for hail stone damage.

Just started raining here with thunder & lightning forecast.
Finally remembered to leave my very dusty old barn living Pug 806 outside for a much needed sluice off.
Couple of hours should see the most of the muck off.

Third storm of the day has just passed through but none of them have brought a lot of rain. Best I can say is no need to water tonight.

Same here. A bit is in the forecast for today and tomorrow. We shall see. We certainly need more rain.

Well a fourth wave passed by and while there was little thunder and lightning over us it did eventually bring a lot of rain and the water butts are now full or largely so.

At 11.37 it's gone dark here, very dark, blowing hard, raining and rumbliong but not lightning nor hail yet......
Power about to go off I reckon! Time to switch this off & unplug everything

Power stayed on, UK satellite TV/radio took a tea break as usual when it rains a lot
No damage and sun now shining.....
