"They were particularly spectacular where I lived in the USA. Thundersnow is especially loud."
We once had a superstorm here in Newcastle that basically dropped 2 months worth of rain in the space of 15 minutes… literally 1 supercell after another
I recall the sky getting so dark it triggered the automatic lamppost lights to go on…. At 3.45 on a July afternoon!  |

"UK ones don't even come close to Florida or Cuba- now they have some fucking epic downpours and thunder claps (then 10 minutes later it looks like fook all happened! )"
Thunder Thursday in Newcastle did Trust me.
You had to experience it to believe it.
It was Britain's first super cell.
Absolutely awesome but scary at the same time .
Roads turned to rivers with cars floating everywhere with the drivers still inside. |

lol my favorite when at our Florida house is when it's a downpour across the street and it's sunny on our side. All you see is lightning and a wall of water. |

Thunder Thursday was epic…. I remember a normal 40 minute drive home trying to get across the river taking 7 hours (left work at 6.30 and got home at 1am)
I remember getting stuck on the western bypass and getting a call from sis in London saying my then 5 yr old niece wanted to talk to me as she had seen it on the news and started crying! Lol
