Freak storm batters south London
 

As a few of you are from around that area, I was wondering if you witnessed it ?

It looked frightening I have to say.

That's actually facing more west, not south. It felt like it was bang overhead here just after 5pm - really very violent but quite short. Lots of hail bouncing off the shed roof and a big puddle outside in the street, but no flooding. Looking at those pictures it was centred a couple of miles east and moved south-east - there was no hail lying on the ground when it stopped chucking it down.

Looks like one of the plagues of Egypt :erm: Global warming I guess. It's something to look forward to.

I blame the homosexuals and non-believers.

You leave Romford alone.... it's not their fault they are all related ;)
We drove home during it yesterday and even on our side of London it was absolutely terrible. Some of the roads were just constant streams of water and in some places it was coming down that fast the drains were'nt coping and the water was a couple of inches deep.
We also know that there was a fatal accident on a road near to us here last night due to the really cra**y visibility and conditions.

Where?? Must have blinked and missed it. Or it's been cancelled this year! Oh, you must mean those couple of hot weeks we had back in May! ;)

Bright sunshine here this morning, let's see how that goes :D

I was bowling in it ! It was a league match and all rounds had to be played on the same evening. When I got home I literally had waterlogged clothes even though I was wearing wet weather clothing.

Those hailstones must've stung when they hit!

Good old London, taking a bullet for the rest of the country :D

Well, getting home was fun. In one one train journey we had Adverse weather, a signal failure at Cannon Street and a security alert.

Well, we told you what would happen if you went out packing heat, but would you listen?

We fear bod? :erm: What exactly is a bod - just so I know to fear it?

Yep, the skies opened yesterday afternoon and we had torrential rain and hailstones. The garden was so full of hailstones that it looked like it had snowed! :disturbd:

It's the secret Al Qaeda Weather Machine!

Ol' bin Laden is sitting there in his cave, pressing the "freak storm" button, a la Ming at the start of Flash Gordon.

Ah so the Lib Dems are involved!

[MERGED] Storms in London
 

These pictures were taken in London, sometime yesterday.
I myself was stuck in this freaky storm and it wasn't pretty.

First it was thunder & lightning, then it started snowing & hail stones, then it rained really heavy for several hours and flooded everywhere.

Doesn't the guy in the second-from-bottom picture look like he's just farted out a motorbike?
