No pics but I had to evacuate the building at work due to flooding and electricity not mixing well. Roof leaked like crazy, we only make composite aerospace components though so not too important!!!

Would everyone be annoyed with me if I said we have a nice hot warm day here!

However, the rain we had last night and the night before had some sort of dust in it? I've been driving within a 10 mile radius of my house today and every single car is dirty and dusty, it's like a bombs gone off!

That picture of them guys sitting on the roof of that car was took about 2 miles from my house lol further down my street it was about 2ft deep across both lanes. Got some pics on my phone of an epic flood we had at work this afternoon! Within half hour about 100m2 of the building was under 4inch or so of water.

All of the pics here were taken in or around 5 mins drive from me.

I wondered why my car was coving in dust lol had to clean it this morning, was literally grey!

It's been REALLY warm here today and about an hour ago it pee'd it down for a bit. Sunny again now :roll: I havnt seen if the streets are flooded yet but my garage rooms are a bit wet :wtf:

i'm getting flashbacks about the RUC van that hit a tree & the IRA claimed they'd planted it....... wrong but still makes me chuckle

Damn, no rain here. I want a thunder storm!

mowgli
28-06-12, 07:28 PM
well, i got home & i'm very upset.....

there was a hail storm. not your average garden pea size hail storm, oh no, it was golf ball size hail, and my nova was out ont he drive next to my neighbours clio.

both look like a fat bird in stilettos did a flamenco on them.

i can't bring myself to look at it, let alone photograph it.

i'm weighing up my options on bodywork repairs, i really don't think the dent doctor can fix the roof.. but probably the bonnet

I was at work in Nuneaton when the epic hail storm landed, but yes everywheres flooded here. Some roads are upto 5ft deep. Ive got some pictures of my work, flooded within half hour, never in my life seen so much water appear in so little time. One of the storm drains under the building cracked & forced water through the floor like a fountain to.

It's been so muggy here today. Had a call from my manager who lives in Hinckley at 5 saying they'd had bad hailstorms and as a result her car window screen has been smashed.

That having 25 degree weather and ice within such a short difference is a bit odd.

Whats yours?
