Never Known a storm like it

About a hour ago it went pitch black here there was a flash of light and a clap of thunder and the heavens opened with malteser sized hail stones that fell constant for about 5 minutes. Just heard the M4 at junction 36/37 is now closed in both directions.

We had it too this side of the irish sea. Was just about to go clean my seats using the Vanish method and had to give up just after getting the hoover out.

It's not stopped here all afternoon on and off, thunder lightening and heavy hail stones and I cleaned and waxed the car yesterday

A bit of a worry for those of us without a garage. Had to keep checking the guttering around our house over the car during the cold snap, as last year, a work collegue had an large icicle drop and dent his roof.
