Hailstones the size of marbles. As dark as midnight.
Worrying that the windows won't crack!

Think it must have been travelling east if it was we had in Brum from around 10am to 11am Angie but don't recall hailstones, just lots and lots of thunder & lighting and rain like I've rarely seen it.  Flash flooding throughout the City.

 I was travelling to work and had to turn back and find another route 4 times due to flooding  :scared: :scared: :scared:  Really quite exciting but imagine a lot of people were badly affected by it ....

As dark as midnight.

It came up north - suddenly the sky went totally black, no hail but bucketloads of rain, thunder, lightning and flash floods everywhere. I love watching it but pretty scary driving conditions  :scared:

Warwickshire wildlife centre in Nuneaton were under 6 inches of water and had to evacuate some of the animals. They lost some of the birds in their aviary - drowned. :(

That's so sad...

It stayed baking where we are all day yesterday- not so much as a cloud. Nice today too, fresher and breezy.

So sad for the birds and animals  :(

It carried on up to NE and there was a tornado in Lincolnshire.
