Incoming! (Storms across the channel)

[Thunder Bolt]

There was an awful catastrophe here in Arizona on Saturday; there were many people enjoying a sunny afternoon at a swim hole in the Payson when, with virtually no warning, the area was inundated with a flash flood, carrying some of them many miles downstream. Nine people died and another man is still missing - Payson flash flooding deaths: 9 confirmed dead, 1 still missing

One guy (and his dog named Lucky) had a pretty miraculous escape - Chandler man survives Payson flash flood that claimed 9, 1 still missing

There's been a flash flood in Cornwall this afternoon.

[MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION] Do I water the garden tonight or leave it? BN9 area.

Rained for about 2 minutes with a distant rumble of thunder in Wadhurst.
Stopped now. Thunderstorms are the new snow

Playing CRICKET at 6.30pm in theory.

Storms can KNACK off.

I have never been so wet. Absolutely torrential.

Sadly some of us will need to water the garden as even the stuff that's developing is patchy and probably short lived.

Looks like I'm watering the sodding garden again tonight then.

Just started to rain here in Durrington. That line of showers I mentioned earlier is developing nicely.

Little rain in Southwick

Right, I'd better get on with it then. Sigh.

Despite the poor showing at the moment, there's still a signal on the latest model output for rain here overnight.

P.S. And the weekend looks poor

Errrrrr.....I know, that was the BBC report in [MENTION=11350]LamieRobertson[/MENTION]'s post, which I quoted, and which was the reason I posted the AZ story.

A mile or so away, Fleming Park was not much fun.

Near me an hour ago...

That was as poor as our transfer activity!

Wow...that is a tragedy

Hailstones the size of 50p pieces breaking windows in the Lizard Peninsula, which has also experienced flash flooding. If that's coming in from the Atlantic, stand by for a dangerous night.

Oh dear

Totally bizarre weather this. I live on the Lizard, about 7 miles / 15 minutes from Coverack where the flash floods were, and we didn't get a drop of rain. One hell of a lightning show though

We spent a holiday on the Lizard about 10 years ago, and we stayed in St Keverne (we were there at the same time as the Ox Roast) and I thought we went to Coverack, but it turns out we spent a day at Porthoustock just up the coast.

My feeling is that there is another period of possibly thundery rain due roughly around 1am, as a trough feature drifts north. This tweet shows the feature.

Enough about your sex lives, let's talk about the weather.

The latest radar has some rain developing along a line SW from roughly Rustington - could become something of interest..

Sorry!

On a more positive note it's back and lasting much longer now. Keep thinking that it's over and then it sparks up again. The Mrs is loving it although the loud rumblings have woken the 7 year old up - baby is sleeping through though which is a positive

From checking netweather we are in for a fair bit more to come

Time you retired.

I wish!
