There is storm activity starting here right now, there has already been some loud rumbles and it is now raining here.

Plus the TV signal keeps getting pure interference, so there must be more storms around.

This one has formed to my northeast and moved south catching my area in the process.

[Darren Bown]

Heavy rain starting here, and its as black as night

I think we're in for a storm!

WOAH torrential rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: Thunder now being heard, and its very muggy with torrential rain...

[Mrs Snow Lover]

Tim, where are you at present? :?

[Tim B]

Daz, this will be the storm I just had.

It will move south towards you're area now.

Expect to be hearing some loud thunder rolls soon.

I'm in Darwen at the moment MSL.

[Darren Bown]

I need to talk to sum1 about the video, i may need to turn PC off soon coz of lightning...

[Tim B]

Large rumble of thunder here just now also, it went on for ages as the sound bounced off the hills and valleys.

It was like being near a bass box, My shirt was vibrating off my chest because of the sound.

[Jackfrost]

Just had a few big rumbles of thunder.No rain yet,just really humid with hazy sunshine.

[Darren Bown]

Rain easing, but it was torrential, never seen anything like that b4. Only 3 rumbles of thunder and 1 lightning to report, but it was active and moving S through Manchester. Wow, never expected this.

More lightning and thunder just now rain nearly stopped

[Mrs Snow Lover]

I'm in Darwen at the moment MSL.

Pants! I was hoping you were in Manchester and something interesting might be heading my way - oh well.

[Tim B]

It is heading you're way.

[Darren Bown]

Im at th end of the storm now, but there is more thunder and lightning than during the torrential rain. This storm will be HUGE when the afternoon is out.

[Mrs Snow Lover]

Oh I do hope you're right Tim! :-o

[Jackfrost]

WOW.I've never seen anything like this before :roll: :roll: I'm inside a few feet from the window which is closed and I can see the rain!Massive thunder and flashes of lightning and the drains are now overflowing!

[Jackfrost]

Water is pouring through the door and flooding my house drains have overflown,other houses have flooded and it's chaos and the lights are flickering.I dont like this

[Guest]

I had the unique view of living in Whaley Bridge (South Manchester), I actually saw the strom from the East side, Its HUGE...Didnt notice it until 1sh when it started developing, heard 2 rumbles of thunder, but its side-swiped my location, man the clouds were just exploding earlier on, can still see it even now, cells developing in my area too, no rain though, shame I wasnt inside the storm-oh well loose some win some..

[Jackfrost]

Finished now but all the waters still pouring down the mountain and theres police everywhere.Parts of tarmarc in the roads have been ripped out :shock: and we're clearing up the water in my house from the clogged drain by the door.

[Tim B]

Wow, sounds nasty.

[Jackfrost]

It WAS nasty Tim.The rives close to overflowing and it only lasted half-hour.The garden is caked in dirt and theres have about 15 soaking towels to wash from cleaning the flooded kitchen floor
