BBC Weather saying Keele, Staffs had most rain, 54mm recorded. I must admit, living close to Keele I can believe that; it didn't stop pouring all morning. 


Road conditions were terrible and the water has washed away a gravel path near me on a hill and the smallish river that forms the Trent burst its banks. Day before I went down thinking it was unusually low, what a difference in 24 hours.


Was a good test for my new drainage channel in the garden too, which seemed to hold up pretty well. All in all an interesting event and one I enjoyed watching even without the thunder. I even embraced the soggy dogwalk because of the consistency of heavy rain (usually saved for a shower).

The RAF did it's best to imate a thunderstorm about half hour ago. A fighter jet was scrambled out in to the channel. After rawing across the rainy Portsmouth skies it was by the sounds of it circling out at sea, but the sonic booms where extremely thunderous in sounds thanks to the clouds and echoed all around.

Possibly a drill, or maybe testing the plane after repairs?
