Excellent video, David. Love it! Storm kicked off early here about an hour ago. But nothing like that.

Few flash bangs and rain just starting to get heavy..

Over the Hogs Back to the north we have thunder lightning hail and very heavy rain. The road is awash and flooding is imminent. Come over and see for yourself. But you may have it already in Godalming. :-)

Thunder, lightning and hail. The road is a torrent.

Flash bangs every 15-30 seconds here now. Rain coming down hard. Whoops! That was a loud one.

That looks nasty!

Thanks, Tangerine. Great info.

2 Lightnings and 2 thunders in the past 5 minutes here. Lashing down with rain for ten minutes. Radar show more coming up from Portsmouth with lightning.

This may just sound a pretty dumb question so please bear with me. If the ice is melting anywhere on land, then presumably the sea levels will rise. If it's melting on the oceans then the sea levels will remain unchanged. Now I do not know this because I haven't looked into it in any great depth, but I have not seen any evidence of any sea levels rising anywhere. If the situation is becoming 'critical' as some would suggest, why has the level not risen? Or has it and I just missed it in Portsmouth Harbour...?

torrential rain and flash/bangs for 15 minutes...whoops there's another big bang!!!

Just had 30 minutes torrential rain and thunder. Tropical storm like. Now clearing and brightening up. Looks like heading North toward Windsor and West London...

I can see a very blurry moon out there now...and no snow falling. It's stopped!

It's slowed down a bit here but we must have had about 2 inches...

Just been hit by a mini tornado. Tree across the road went down and huge squall passing with torrential rain. Definite rotation of winds... Scary!

I can smell it here too. It's yukkie...! I have seen only one aircraft today. This is, obviously, very unusual for this area as Farnborough airport is just down the road and gets busier every year. An aircraft took off from there this morning about 1000. That is the only one I have seen or heard all day. Yesterday, all aircraft from LHR stopped at about midday. Haven't seen any 'copters either today. Very quiet... Almost eerie. A guy on the radio said the last big blast from this mother lasted on and off for 18 months. Great! Wonder what the sunset will bring tonight? Andy
