Thunder and lightning again. Nice bright flashes of purple lightning and some real nice cracks of thunder!

Hi guys, I'm looking to compile a blog post tonight on the storm last night.

I would love to hear your max wind speeds and any damage you had or have seen out and about. This is for anyone in the SW region and the Channel Islands.

Please reply in here or PM me. I would love any photos too!!!!!

I recorded a 74mph gust at St Albans head when i was there (around midnight) could've got higher but i had to bail out as it got too dangerous. 33mm of rain fell between 5:45pm and 12:45am here, plenty of flooding and debris on the roads on the way back. Posted Image

excellent! you got down there. Did you get past the church or did you make it to the coast-watch station. Love that headland spent many a day in my childhood years playing up there and on the under-cliff, admittedly not when the wind was 74mph!

Quite the comedown tonight compared to last night !

 

I actually just saw tumble weed in the Mod thread. I thought it would be a tad busier due to the chance of storms next week.

Must admit I bottled it when I was on the Bournemouth overcliffe at around 12:45am, I could barely see and was being blown around quite violently, I just got straight back in my truck and retreated to Sea level. So glad I went out though.

 

I would post vids and Pictures, but I can't figure out how to do it?

I would say that for here at least it was definately the worst winds we have had since January 2007. There were quite a few power flashes and we lost power at around 3:00AM.

 

I had numourous gusts of 40-44mph with the first wave of winds and then a 50mph gust occoured and broke a branch from a small ash tree and I actually heard it.

 

The highest gust was 58mph from I think when the squall line came through which far surpases the top record of 45mph that wasn't beaten for the past 2 years since I have had a weather station.

Had a nice dark cloud approach Portbury at about 4:30pm, brought 5-10 minutes of hail and very heavy rain, loved it, even if, briefly. Posted Image

I looked at a few in that range, but to be honest they didn't give me the overall experience I want. 

 

Last night for example, I could see the pressure dropping rapidly, hourly rainfall rates, wind speed, direction, wind chill, Dew point, etc etc etc and all very accurate!. Really made the experience all the better, rather than just looking out of the window and reading everyone's  stats in there back yard! I didn't see one on the Market for £70 that would do all that accurately.

 

I''ve got an Oregon WMR-88, from Amazon for £119.00 delivered. Worth every penny so far, it paid for itself last night imo

 

Just my opinion of course

I was out shopping up Cribbs around 5pm, very heavy rain followed by hail, hail came in two bursts each lasting about 45 seconds. Then came some very very impressive lightening. I wwas in asda car park and two prongs of lightening appeared just behind toys r us, very nice crackling sound of thunder followed immediately. Must say don't think I have ever been as close to lightening as I was earlier. I felt the whole car shake.
