Sitting here in Canary Wharf about half hour ago, the sky went v.black and the wind got v.v.v.strong. String enough to bend some quite big trees and sway some lamp posts. Ten minutes later there wasn't a cloud in the sky !

Went through Slough around 10.30 - unfortunately it was not strong enough to destroy the town

Sky went black in North London this morning, I was woken by thunder, lightning and a torrent of rain and then it disappeared just as quickly as it had come!

I was in the Barclays Building the other day, visiting the Olympics people. Nearly shat myself when I got to the 23rd floor. Could've warned me about the floor-to-ceiling windows

Sitting Here in Romford, I too can confirm that the Sky went almost completely black, it began to hail and then there was one TERRIFIC thunderclap, v.windy.

Passed in about ten mins, now sunny.

We also have the 18th, 19th and 20th floors in the Barclays building - it is a bit high isn't it.

Out of interest, just being nosey like, what have you to do with the Olympics people ?
