We ran back to the car, and then the heavens really did open - it was the worst weather I have experienced in my life. You couldn't even see 1 yard in front of you. Cars were pulling over it was that bad, but we just carried on very slowly with our hazard warning lights on (10mph on a 60mph road!), and eventually we drove out of the weather.
I can honestly say it resembled being in a tornado, the worst severe flash floods I have ever seen. I wish I had my camera to take a photo, because words cannot adequately describe what it was like.
