I am trying to date a storm in Leicester......
It was in the eighties, and it was a Friday night, around 18:30 - 22:00, now, I was and still am really scared of thunder..... as far back as I can remember, and even now, although they fascinate
me, they terrify me.... suppose "the better the devil you know" thats why I am interested in them as well.
Anyway, back to this storm, I was doing a football pools round, that is why it was a Friday, I remember it was a scorcher, and I heard it building in the far distance; and also remember running the last 10 houses to get home before it arrived, thunder was occuring almost without any breaks between the claps, also loads of straight down lightning and what I now know are anvil crawlers!! I also did not stay in the house either, I hate most of all being alone in a storm, so I literally dropped the coupons home, and ran up to the pub where I felt safer.. The storm/s as I think there were a few rolling around lasted a good couple of hours; but I cannot pinpoint the date!
I know its a long shot, but a Friday in the 80's, cannot recall another storm in Leicester, of that intensity, on a Friday evening....
Any chance on finding the date??
Cheers
