Default Rain!

All the fault of Glastonbury... It'll be heading that way now I would

The rain and lightning were amazing to watch. I stood in the porch
watching the storm. Just when I thought it couldn't rain any harder it
did just that - so hard the guttering couldn't cope any more and water
was spewing straight off the roof onto the ground below!

I only just watered the garden in time before the storm ;-)

Only time I've seen it tip down like that before was several years ago
driving through Plymouth. I had to stop the car because I simply could
not see a yard ahead of me despite the wipers running at warp 10 speed.
A few minutes later water was gushing OUT of a man hole like a fountain
three feet high. Unbelievable sight.
