It's Wimbledon fortnight and the Glastonbury Music Festival has just
started, so it was bound to rain, but we weren't expecting anything like
we've had in the last couple of days.
It's been very hot. Yorkshire has had flash floods, and there was a small
tornado in Coventry. Earlier in the year Boscastle in Cornwall suffered
terrible flooding.
We've had two days of tremendous thunderstorms at least in the south. I've
never seen lightening or heard thunder like it. We could feel the vibration.
Poor Ben (my Border Collie) has been trying to make himsef as small as
possible and hide in the darkest smallest space he can find.
A hotel was struck and caught fire, but fortunately everyone was evacuated
safely. A young lad in Poole was playing on his Playstation, when the house
was hit by lightening. He was thrown across the room, but fortunately
suffered no permanent damage. The roof of the house exploded and what
remained of the roof timbers caught fire.
The fields being used for the Glastonbury Festival were parched dry, but
festival-goers tents are now floating.
Of course global warming's a myth.
