Piddling down now with large rumbles. Husband ran into the garage to watch and then quickly ran back in because he was scared lol

Been rumbling constantly to the east of us for a few hours now. Looking at the radar there could be some heading directly for us. Edit: Now some proper rumbling!

Hello everyone, long time no see. This image was posted by Netweather on Twitter this morning http://ow.ly/i/6gJxe/original and I had to chuckle as there is a hole in the middle of the masses of crosses where of course I live I've watched snow clouds on the radar go around us and reform, it looks like thunderstorms do too!

Shocked that my garden is still in one piece. My trees have taken such a battering and was convinced my old alders wouldn't make it but everything is still standing. Even the home-made greenhouse and the trampoline are still in place. Talking about trampolines, Preston road in Yeovil was closed yesterday whilst the emergency services tried to get a trampoline down from a tree by the roadside. http://www.westerngazette.co.uk/Reports-giant-trampoline-blown-tree-Preston-Road/story-20631320-detail/story.html

Whilst having her sulk she must have thought it through and seems to understand my reasoning, so I don't feel as evil now. Wind has really got up during the last hour, now gusting to over 40mph. Took the dogs out across the fields earlier and the rain was like icy needles jabbing my face, totally unpleasant.

Sun is poking through the clouds an the winds easing a bit after what was a pretty awful morning. I was out in the field earlier with the drawstrings on my hood done up so tight that I looked like Kenny from Southpark, I had such a miniscule face. The icy rain being blown into my face was painful. I've got tubs lining the window sills catching the rain coming in and we have a moat around the house. We have put pallets outside the door to walk on between the house and the car. Wind gusts were just shy of 70mph at one point.

I've just looked at the radar and ran the animation an it certainly seems that the heaviest of the rain is going along the channel and Northern France currently and maybe heading for the SE England as you say. Many congratulations to Karlos and his family and to also dancing Daisy on becoming a Gran. Glad your Grandson is getting better.

We have had a rain gauge on the farm since Christmas and have recorded 280ml of rain since then. Just over night and this morning we recorded 24ml. Just have to hope and pray for a pattern change soon. Good luck and best wishes to Karlos and Mrs Karlos, I hope all goes smoothly and it won't be long until you are holding baby Karlos.

Morning! I think we can safely say it a wee bit stormy out there. I emptied the tub I had in the corner of the dining room window this morning because of a leak and emptied out 2.8 litres and its filling up fast again. The wind must have change direction as the other leaks have started and so have an array of pots and pans lining the window sills. Rain easing down again at the moment and wind gusting to 51mph. I was woken by an incredible hail storm at about 5am, the sound of it hitting my window was astounding. Road at the bottom of the hill is impassable and the fields are flooded but otherwise the roads aren't too bad from what i have seen. Take care.
