See that black/brown blob to the top of the radar? That's the weather right now. There's hail the size of large marbles, and the rain is exactly like standing under a waterfall. Fucking fantastic.
There have been lightning strikes for the last couple of hours, and then intermittent hailstones started bouncing off the cars parked below about an hour ago - I'm so glad I'm parked under cover.
Then, about 15 minutes ago, with a huge surge, the rain just poured down. You wouldn't be able to have a conversation over the noise right now, and there's a flat above me (I'm not right below the roof). God, imagine being under a tin roof right now. It's probably just as well, I wouldn't be responsible for my actions. :-) |  |
ETA: The less fun part is that
every time there's a big thunderstorm, the alarms in the apartment block next door go off. I can sleep through heavy rain, but not that so much. Bah.
