Hi Everyone,
fantastic storm, best i have ever seen, I live in st leonards near hastings ( about a 1/2 mile from the pier ) the tree outside our house had the top wrenched out of it, This coincided with some visible rotation and swirling in the clouds just as the squall front passed over and just preceding the hail, approx 12mm diameter and lightning strike 25 M away.
regards
Nigel
