Glad all you Guys & Girls came through OK, about an hour ago had another terrific thunder storm and heavy rain. I switch off the computer and take cover till it's all past . OH, the joys of an English Summer Julia

Yesterday lost my Runner Beans (perhaps they ran for cover lol) and my sweat peas with the force of the rain. THis morning lovely, had breakers out in the garden and this afters have been rained on several times!!

OH MY GOD here at work we have been flooded. Nat

thunder and Rain here now. I don't like thunder. Mum where are you lol Nat

CLOSED all DOUBLE glazed windows and it still sounded like it was over the head bouald it went on until at least 4am Sun came out this morning but clouede over lunch time 3.20pm and we just had the lot THUNER , LIGHTNING and pouring RAIN in good old CAMBRIDGESHIRE. JEAN.

No Thunder here but plenty of rain nat

took my dog for a walk just before 7am,and it was really beautiful,but lunchtime the heavens opened for about 30mins,now its beautiful again...probably waiting for schools out time....no storm in south london last nite,just heavy rain. bryan.

Margaret and Paul - it is halfway between you now!!! Has Just arrived here and it is POURING again! Quite a lot of branches and stuff down from yesterday too. Hope it is not going to be another summer like 2002 when the kids were climbing the walls. We went to so many places last year because the weather was good - its very expensive to keep finding indoor activities outside the home! Maz. XX

didn't have a storm here - just cold wet and windy - no thunder & lightening though

We have just had a cracking thunderstorm here in Ramsgate one minute i was in the garden the next i was indoors under a pillow i hate them

People have told me it was pretty stormy through the night (had a lull in the evening). Couldn't say for sure because I slept through it all - it was pretty wet on the ground though and I've seen a few plants blown over in peoples gardens.

Storm - what storm. Alright so its not quite sunny today in Shropshire, there is light rain, but we have not had any storms at all in the last few days.

Steven Here near Preston,its pouring down with rain and very windy, during the night it wakened me up. I had to close the windows because of the noise, I hope it doesn't head your way because you aren't very far away.

Lovely and sunny here in Dartford, forecast is for rain at lunchtime, but survived last night quite well, no structural damage, just the garden is a bit of a mess nothing a couple of hours clearing up won't solve. Sue

It's lovely and sunny here, near Folkestone but a bit breezy. Apart from losing a pane from the greenhouse I think we came off lightly. Son has gone off on duty with fire service so he may tell me all wasn't so good locally. If the sea is too bad and ferries are cancelled it plays havoc with the motorway near here as 'Operation Stack' comes into force and all the lorries line up for miles waiting for a chance to continue their journey to France. Same happens if ever the French have blockades on their ports. Local people know how to avoid the problem but others get caught up in the snarl up.

I've just hung my washing out, so it's bound to rain soon! Jo.

heavy rain and high winds in night some electricity down and some valley lines closed otherwise okay

Very sunny in central london, but there are some clouds around. Had no problems at home. Been lucky liz

It depends which way it,s moving,if it,s coming north we will cop it as it,s getting dull.starting to drizzle and the wind is getting a bit fresh.Fred.
