[Sussex] Storm’s coming....



Thunder Bolt

Silly old bat
I just got woken up by a loud clap of thunder although looking at the Lightning map, it seems to be stretched out between Eastbourne & Dungeness.

Anyone commuting?
BREAKING: Flooding at #HaywardsHeath is preventing any trains from travelling between #BurgessHill and #ThreeBridges

Replacement buses have been ordered but passengers are being advised not to travel until after 9am

More details here:

Just got back home from Brighton station. Nothing going up at all at the moment, and replacement buses ordered but not expected until 7:30

Bit of a bonus WFH really with Eng v The Cheats today :thumbsup:

A mate of mine was on the 5:19 which went to Preston Park where the driver "changed ends" and it went down to Littlehampton and up via Three Bridges :eek:

Woken in the night to hear what sounded like God pissing on my window.

This morning...contact from school to say my daughters classroom is flooded. Now need to amuse 7 year old chatterbox with a preternatural interest in shoes and LOL dolls.

Nice and steamy round here today too. Still. Glad I didn’t bother washing the car on Sunday.

West is BEST
Was up on a night shift and I would estimate it rained solidly for at least two hours. And proper rain as well. Not surprised there is flooding. Only the very faintest rolling thunder in the distance but yes, that was some rainfall.

You will move to an upside down country.

I know.

I still find it very strange that June, July and August are winter and Christmas is hot and sunny!!

Damp squib this one, calling it. Might get a few rumbles but nothing more.

My back garden (and flooded garage) disagree.

All gone now though, but bailing out the garage meant I didn't make it to work until 11am.....

Was thinking more in terms of the storm element than the rain, that was a given

Yesterday on Isle of Wight I witnessed a sea fret first one I’ve seen for 30 odd years

Picture doesn’t do it justice. I was in Ventnor and driving down into it was weird above cloud as such, then blue sky and normal clouds above that
