[snowqueen1979]

Hailing here really coming down ! 

[hammy]

Think I'm just south of the heavy shower passing... 30 seconds of rain then nothing, wind picking up 

[snowqueen1979]

Stopped here now but left a white roof on my car. Pretty decent sized hail stones !

Wow!! Gales, sleet, hail, violent thunder.

It's absolutely scary here atm :-0

[BlueHedgehog074]

Almost feels like being transported back to Summer, lol. Saw some big bright flashes along with a downpour of rain and hail! Didn’t expect that at all!

[snowqueen1979]

Its gone really quiet ! The calm before the storm perhaps ?? 

[cyclonic happiness]

I've never seen such a vicious squall line before.

It really means business ,stay safe!!

[snowqueen1979]

You too ! Sounds like your getting it worse then us. 

[snowqueen1979]

Winds are picking up can see my fence panels bobbing about ! Let's see how many come down this time 

[cyclonic happiness]

Massive crash next door, a fence panel has just blown 20 feet across the garden and hit their house :-(

[snowqueen1979]

Just goes to show how dangerous it can be ! Hope it hasn't done too much damage
