y mab darogan - come on dude we are in the UK never mind what the US has….. it was quite bad, I haven’t seen a thunder storm like that for a long time!
You are so crazy - I am a fisherman - I go to sea everyday and fight the thuderstorms when they are at their worst like in my favourite movie - Forrest Gump when Lt Dan is up the mast shouting for more - I lose some good men in the storms at sea you guys should come fishing with me I will show you real fear I was once in a storm that was so bad I nearly went down with my boat.
It was a really bad storm for THIS area. The thunder and lightening started at 5.30 and was still going strong at 12.30. The lightening didn’t let up and i haven’t seen it like that for a long time. In fact last time i was in a storm like that i was in New york
this wasnt as bad as usual storms in this area as i have a litle dog that goes to a quivering shivering wreck when a storm is about…..last night she didnt even go under my computer desk but it was a good one for the lightening.my daughter caught a few good shots
So we went through a bad storm last night,the wind was howling,the thunder was crashing,the lightning was flashing and the rain came down in buckets!
The headlines in todays Shropshire Star “County Hit By Fierce Storm”
Thank you Shropshire Star for letting us know what is was. You never cease to be so informative do you?!
I’m sure those who experinced flooding, damage to they’re homes and loss of livestock would say it was a pretty bad storm. Also it was worse in some parts, the rain was very heavy and went on and on.
Have to agree, despite it lasting longer than usual, it was just a storm. If those are the headlines we really do not have much to worry about do we?

It was a good storm, not quite as good as the one in the summer of ‘95 if anyone can remember.
I have a phobia of Thunder and cant listen to it but I love watching storms esp Lightning. I live in Broseley and have a good view of Telford from the house, to actually track some of the lightning as it streaked across the sky was just simply amazing.

The storm was quite bad, but the one I experienced in barbados 6 years ago lasted 2 days !
Don’t mock! This is about the most exciting thing to happen at Shrewsbury or Telford football grounds in years…..
we all know storms abroad are worse - compare them to storms in the UK if you are going to compare them at all!

idiots - its a storm, global warming will happen over the next couple of hundred years, not immediately!
