Ummmm - it's absolutely baking hot & very sunny down here, Sue. They said we were going to have thunderstorms & lots of rain last night, tonight & tomorrow. I wonder if the map they used was upside down . . . . Hope there isn't too much damage. Pat.xxx :o)) A Maid of Kent, UK.

At it's height - you couldn't see out of the windows - and gutters all around were flooded ... The drains for the road couldn't keep up with it - and the road was awash with water ... Thankfully - this has all gone now - but the thunder is still rumbling away - and not I the distance either ... And there's a puddle of water in my hall - at the bottom of the stairs ... All our windows open 'inwards' - they either drop down a little - or we can open them sideways to their full width - 'tilt-'n'-turn' ... Mostly - unless the rain is coming sideways - the rain doesn't usually come into the house . . BUT - the upstairs landing window decided it was going to allow water in . . In it came - onto the window-sill - then overflowing down the wall for a very short distance - before following the channel afforded it by the handrail running up the length of the stairs ... It then travelled in this channel - before falling off the end onto my hall carpet .... I hope everyone else is cosy and dry ...

Thanks Pat --- it calmed down a bit - but is now thundering down with rain again ... Even the car-port has leaked ... But - even though it's chucking it down - it's not cold - and certainly not as heavy as it was --- but we've sure had a few inches in a very short time ...

The other day the centre of Eastbourne got flooded but there was no rain 10 miles away in Bexhill, or up here in the north <G>. They said the land was so dry that it could not soak up the water and so it stayed on the surface and the drains could not cope. No storms down this way either 'though we did have a little rain at lunchtime. Our forecast has been the same as Pat's but I think the word they should have used is "localised" - to whom, I wonder.
