There are already threads on the go discussing this Gavin - namely the convective discussions + there's now a footage thread setup specifically:

http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/73703-midlands-nothern-england-thunderstormflooding-footage-2862012/

So maybe you can post this sort of thing in there and we'll lock this one now so it's all in one place

Thanks
