I have never ever seen anything like this weather I am seeing this afternoon.
Storm Dennis is now gathering full force of fury, and I thought last night was bad enough with flying fences...
Suddenly half an hour ago the sky turned black with rolling clouds. A white/yellow lightning strike across the sky. Then everything exploded literally with noise almost instantly like the heavens were about to fall in. And a massive hailstorm. Then the wind got up like the fury of hell flattening all my bushes and then twisting them this way and that. I have never seen a wind as hell bent as this. Then the rain. I couldn't even see out of my windows for the vicious slicing driving rain.
More overhead lightning and horrendous thunder. I normally love thunder and lightning and will go outside to watch it, but this was another whole dangerous level. I was holding my breath.
This has gone on for nearly three quarters of an hour at this intensity. The lighting and thunder has gone further away now, and the wind is easing off and it is just raining now.
My guess is some pubs and shops down the hill on the main road will be flooded by now.
I live high up on top of the hill, so I won't get that kind of flooding (I just get a few inches round my bungalow almost up to my bedroom door sill, and then it runs down the hill), but I do get the very high winds.
I can still hear or feel thunder...
I was typing this as it was happening, but then my mobile phone connection went dead (I had already lost my wi fi connection this morning, it wasn't working today). And I presume I lost my post on the thread with my mobile connection out.
I will post this when I can. It happened between quarter to 5 pm and just after 5:30 pm.
I hope none of you were out in this or driving in this. I hope you are all safe.
