We had this on Friday Night. WOW it was very strong, if thats the word. The Lightning lit up the sky like day and lasted about 15 or so seconds, and then thunder was really load, downpours flooded the streets and then had a dose of hailstorms as well, but the weather now is gorgeous, so just like florida in the end.

We are in Surrey and it has been a glorious day. Clear blue skies and scorching hot sun. Children & grandaughter all went to the beach. I cleaned the garden slabs then we went out for lunch. Was really nice & relaxing - but does not have the Florida feel.[msnwink]

We are just outside of Cardiff and we have had a glorious day, we did have a good thunder storm on Thursday evening but is lovely and hot today. (maybe not as hot as Florida) but late 70's easily. BBQ tonight

We are in Manchester, same as you Maureen, but we have only had a few rumbles of thunder and no rain at all! It must be very localised.

We are just north of Manchester and it rained like mad here this afternoon, just as I was out walking the dog[msnmad]. It had been sunny all morning and as I set off there was not a cloud in the sky and glorious sunshine, got my sunglasses out of the car so I could see as it was that bright. Well it waited until I was about a mile and a half from home when the heavens opened! It was still very sunny at first and was rather weird as when I looked up into the sky there were still no clouds[msnoo], so where did the rain come from? Anyway, by the time I got home I was soaked to the skin, I could even ring out my underwear[msnembarrased] and then we had thunder for a couple of hours. Not raining now but is a little overcast and having just spoken to my Mum on the phone who lives less than 3 miles away I was surprised that she had not had any rain, so it certainly was very localised[msnmad]

We have had a glorious day in Worcestershire, went to the local Arboretum with a picnic, bottle of pimms and bucket of ice, had a great time.
