WTF just happened to the weather?

Ok .. so, there I was, rerouting cables (teachers wanting computer desks moving in their classrooms for more convenience, which is fair enough I guess) and it was nice and sunny outside (well, a bit overcast, but generally sunny) ..

 

It started to drizzle a bit, no biggy, but then FLASH > BANG .. some lightening and thunder followed by a torrential downpour .. that's still going .. the yards look like swimming pools!

 

Summer's officially here obviously!

Hehe, it sounds like our weather (Torrential rain and thunderstorms hit Aberdeen - Evening Express) has come to you (all sunny here today)

Have a look here for near real time lightning strikes, sorry, it doesn't reach all of the way up Scotland.

Was up on the flippin' roof at 1pm when it decided to thunder and lightening - get me outta here!!

And would you believe it, the village is flooded! Lets just hope my shop is not under 7 feet of water tomorrow!

I blame the organisers of the Huddersfield Food and Drink Festival - organising an outdoor beer festival was just asking for it to pee down for the duration!
