I was just going to write pretty much the same thing. Not surprising seeing as you're only a mile down the road! That was awesome!

Squall line has missed us, again. Yesterday it split as it passed right over us, tonight it is just to our north. Damn...

Yeah they always miss here, something like the last 5 and pretty much everything this season has missed here.. You might get the 2nd one that just missed me though.

Egham in Surrey getting slammed by an intense squall persisting for a while.. (why did that never happen when I was at uni there, was always more interesting at home then lol)

Just had gust at prawle point of 91 knots or 104.72 m p h

Seems a bit high, I see they had an average of 65 knots/75 mph too.. Hurricane force, can't be right surely

Went through Latteridge earlier on my way out to Thornbury and the Froom has burst its banks and over the fields.

We went to Bath earlier and it was flowing VERY fast/high in the city centre as yesterday's deluge works through the river system. What about in BoA itself? Must be extremely close?

Yeah the squall was really strong both sides of me but became drizzle here. Also I can't seem to get rid of this quote...

The wind has died right down (as expected) but just had a beast of a downpour! About 5mm in 10 minutes. Up to 17mm for the day.

Terrific squall just passed through.  4 of the brightest lightning strikes ever seen, with window-shaking rumbles of thunder. Chucking it down with rain but strongest gust remains at just after 8pm. 986mb. Not much sleep round here tonight!

Yes i agree Kate, some of the most powerful lightning strikes witnessed in a long time here. One of which was a direct hit with virtually no delay between lightning and thunder (which was more like an explosion). The rain had stopped at that point so i wasn't expecting it either. Scared the hell out of me actually!  My weather station is reading 986mb too :-)

Hello, Hector - yes it was quite an alarming 20 mins or so! You sure know it's raining when you're sitting in a conservatory with a plastic roof!

I don't have a station of my own, by the way. I would have got one but then I found this site and as it is quite local to me  (on the Civic Centre roof, apparently) it really didn't seem worth it! if I ever post any data it will be from here: http://www.southamptonweather.co.uk/

Well, we truly seem to be in the "calm before the storm" phase, at the moment....

Just been out for a fag to find I can't see the end of the garden.  Although it's currently dry the cloud base has dropped really low, it's so thick the sound of the trees blowing all around are bouncing and echoing, it's bizarre and really quite eerie. All it needs out there is a doom laden sound track you usually get with a horror film, just before the monster leaps out.

Lamposts rattling away here in Stoke Gifford. The wind is making the gutters vibrate on the house too. Really awesome weather!

Evening Kate, yes it was all pretty mental for a while wasn't it! I love the sound of rain on a conservatory roof but i think that would have been a little too loud for me!

I don't think i've experienced rain as heavy as that before. We even had water pouring through one of the ceilings :-/.

Yes i agree it's all very still out there now....calm before the storm!

p.s thanks for the link. It's nice to know that my station reads the same as the official reading!

12m waves for North Cornwall coast tomorrow according to the local TV forecast. Good grief!!!!!!!!! :help:

Part of me is wishing I was still in my clifftop holiday cottage, perched on the edge at Lower Porthmeor; bet the waves there will be spectacular!
