Hi,
Just thought you might be interested in the quite violent storm we had here yesterday. My nearest town is March, North Cambs. The wind became near gale force for a while, the rain flooded from gutters like a waterfall and hails stones the size of large marbles. The thunder and lightening knocked out the power three times and I was forced to turn off my beloved computer for a while! I don't live near anything, there are only a few houses near me so I was wondering if it was just localised and I was lucky enough to be right in the firing line. My daughter works in Peterborough and only got a small shower. The hail stones were scary (I wasn't really scared!) as they were so loud on the conservatory roof which at one point, I thought may have shattered.
I am posting a picture I have taken of the hail stones but they were bigger than this, I had to wait for the hail/rain to stop before I could go out and hurdle some together and they had melted a bit. They were pure white when they were falling.
I hope I am doing the picture correctly, I am not sure how to do it. If it is wrong perhaps someone could talk me through the best way of doing it.
Regards
Chris
