      Well I got it wrong we had the storm with thundering and lightening and torrential rain and I slept right thru i woke up to find a pair of brown eyes looking at me. My JRT Duke must have jumped on the bed in the night for some comfort he normally snores away in his own bed so it must have given him a fright. Hope you all managed to get some sleep despite the storm in your own areas.

    Hi

    Just a mini one last night compared to two nights ago.

    Wed /Thurs morning about 1am it started.Some Schools were closed the next day because they had been hit and various things were "out" playgrounds cracked, roofs hit etc

    The roofs on some houses had been badly hit some were on fire and some just lost half of their roofs

    The thunder and lightening was fantastic if scarey.....never seenit so bad. As I'm typing (7.20am} the heavens have just opened and it is pouring so whether we get another one or not I dont know......Sorry North East England

    Love

      Hi Eileen, I am North West on the Solway coast and we got last night what you had Wed/Thurs, my daughter lives in Jesmond and said it was amazing but a little bit frightening.

      It didnt stop here until 8am, I was up in the early hours to sit with the dogs (big HPR's) but they were fine and sat watching it. I have always felt it important to make it "normal & fun" so that if ever they are on their own they wont be distressed.

      Have a good day everyone, Dot x

      Hi Dot

      I thought it was a bit frightening as well. I'm not usually bothered. In fact when my 2 were little I told them it was God in Heaven moving his furniture aroundbiggrin  At that time I used to shift things all the time.....Peter would come home from work not knowing what to expectcheesygrin

      So they were happy with that explanation and were never scared.....but the other day was something like I've never seen before!!!

      Love

      Eileen

    Hi Carol

    We thought the roof was about to be hit by lighting or thunder, like you we are in Kent. But we soon won't be as we are returning to the grim North this morning.
