JeffTT Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Was working away in the workshop this afternoon and thought seems to of gone dark and then darker then tap, tap, tap on the roof, went outside to see this MONSTER black cloud, the swirling section of it looked like some angry CGI scene from a Hollywood film, moments later we had around 6 minutes of torrential hail that I have not seem the likes of before, you can actually see the hailstones falling in the first picture and on the roof, then the clouds parted and the sun came out ....weird!! a rapid check of all our and customers cars revealed no damage.....phew.

Janus Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Ooh! I cycled home in a huge storm earlier, got soaked through to my undies and I've never done it so fast in my life, 12 minutes door to door, normally 20 mins as its uphill all the way! We're brewing another storm here, its getting all dark and broody looking! I love mad weather (just not when I'm on my bike!) Quote
