Just got back in from shopping; can't believe it!
Hope anyone from that neck of the woods is ok... my thoughts are with the families whose properties have been affected.

It was pretty blustery/heavy rain in Finchley. Weather cock is still up there swinging round though!  The under gardener's residence has lost a few tiles though. |

Still raining here in East London, some tall skinny trees are almost at right angles, but there is bright sunshine over Greenwich way.

I was asleep, woek up and heard some very heavy rain, but went back to sleep! I do however think 15 mins of the national news and half hour on the local news was a bit of an over kill. The local news kept going to different people with "so what happened"! I think we gathered it had been a tad windy!

I was in Asda's Beckton when it all kicked off. Came outside, it was absolutely chucking it down, dashed across the road back to the DLR and got on a waiting train! Chuck the tv on at 14.00 and there we have it...! Think the special news went on for around 2 hours...
The weather reports keep saying theres more on the way for the next few days... Strangely, it came up from the west...

I put the news on about half six. I get both the Meridian and London news on me sky+ and was shocked at all the mess that had happened in 30 seconds.
About 10.30 I had a phone call from a Supervisor that said it was bucketing down in North West London and then from one in West London that had lost of hailstones. It must have been these two storms that met to cause the huricane.

We had a couple of short hbut very intense storms yesterday. The local news spent double the amount of time on one school that shut for the day because it lost a couple of lastic panels from an exterior porch roof than on the lorry accident that shut a 20 mile stretch of the M5 in both directions from Burnham-on-Sea at J22 to Avonmouth at J18 causing near gridlock through the entire area.
