That's a very nice pic Xaccers.

Re: Severe storm on the way
 

Thank you.
Would have been better without the double glazing in the way, but I think the spinaker owners would have objected to me breaking it :D

The clouds were fantastic, took the shot with auto bracketing and processed as HDR, then tweaked it a little.

The drive home was horrendus, really bad rain and a load on lunatics on the M3.
Stopped at Fleet services just to let some of the rain blow over.

Re: Severe storm on the way
 

appears wales and the south west are getting the worst of it, south east / north west getting the spill over but i expect the south east to get it later on

Re: Severe storm on the way
 

It's been a bit blustery here to say the least :)

Re: Severe storm on the way

Re: Severe storm on the way
 

I wouldn't, you'll either get blown away or struck by lightning, this weather is so unpredictable, we've got Sunshine here in Poole atm but with cloud on the horizon, that looks set to end abruptly

Re: Severe storm on the way

Went shopping during the eye of the storm despite hubby suggesting I didn't.
Got a fence panel down but that was where next door backed into the post and cracked it and then did a botched repair last summer.:mad:

Re: Severe storm on the way
 

Big old roll of thunder overhead but nothing else, just pelting the window with rain and looking really cloudy :(

Re: Severe storm on the way
 

I drove through the end of a rainbow yesterday, never seen the end of one before :D
Weather is fairly bad here. The thing i want to know is why does a bit of rain and wind suddenly make some people awful drivers? Had several people pull out on me while im going near the limit and their going 45 on a motorway :confused: :)

Re: Severe storm on the way
 

Damn! I think there was a power cut during the night and my landline is down.It takes a lot to knock out the VM phone service.:(

Re: Severe storm on the way
 

What storm? Only a drizzle here, I am amazed to hear that there was rain on the M3/Fleet. The sun is shining too ....

Re: Severe storm on the way
 

Typical, west/central Scotland was blown to hell and back last month, 10,000 people without power for a day or more, and it got one or two mentions after the fact. Southern England is threatened and the BBC treats us to 12 hours of build-up reports, followed up with blow-by-blow (geddit) accounts of each gust and shower.

For the record, it got a little blowy up here around breakfast time, but now all we have is light rain and an attractive blanket of snow on the hilltops.

It's only because we're more important down here ;)
