vdubgirl 3 Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Well what a weekend we've had in the south west sunshine showers thunderstorms tornados hailstorms etc etc.........Me and ian were delivering his Skoda to its new owner at the weekend and had to drive up to Derby via the M5 now I see a very unusual storm heading up the Bristol channel and thought to myself humm I dont want to end up in that it was a monster of a black cloud with a rainstorm like ive never seen before coming out of it. The rain you could see past it was that heavy it had blocked out the view of the severn Bridge! and there was also many lightning bolts coming out of it ( Any how got up Gloucester way to find cars pointing in the wrong direction on the motorway and the motorway was at a snails pace well you'll see why now as i've managed to get a pic of what it was like - See below anyone wioyuld think its the middle of winter!!!! ( THe hail was about 5" off the road surface and the hard shoulder was a torant of water NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! %-6 Link to post Share on other sites
