Storm in Southend last night!

[BrettieAngell]

I got woken up at 2 o'clock this morning by thunder sat up for about half an hour watching the lightning there was some pretty big flashes, best storm we've had in ages!

 

[OldBlueLady]

I was awake at half one and you could hear it in the far off distance, getting closer and closer until as you say, around 2 it was pretty much overhead, and hung around for about half an hour.

I dunno about best storm, I was just thinking hurry up and move on so I can get to sleep!

 

[Vange Shrimper]

Didnt hear anything down in Vange last night. Slept all the way through!

 

[Southminster_Shrimper]

Woke me up aswell.....one of the most spectacular storms for a while.

I suppose any storm would have been drowned out by the sound of gunshots and police sirens!

 

[SUFC_Al]

slept right through it, I'm impossible to wake up

Or my next door neighbours arguing. I had Family Guy on full blast last night in the front room, and I could still hear them arguing!!

 

[Winkle]

I was vaguely aware that it was raining until what sounded like a bomb going off over the top of my house. The Mrs reckoned I asummed the statutary crash position with my hands holding my gonads. I, however dont remember anything.

I love storms! Obviously if you have to get up, 2 o'clock in the morning is a bit harsh but I could have sat there for ages!

 

[MK Shrimper]

Pardon? damn shrimperzone with it's not allowing one word witticisms

 

[ldnfatso]

Apparently it came from France!

 

[MK Shrimper]

Apparently it came from France!

Bloody immigrants, coming over here, raping our horses and stealing our women! Send 'em back!

 

[Beefy]

I was awake anyway as I had one of those nights when I just couldn't sleep. I couldn't believe how loud that storm was when it started. Never heard anything like it. The thunder was lasting for 10 seconds at a time. Crazy.

 

[RobM]

Not particularly noisy here but the lightning was spectacular.

Some people have their birthdays mentioned in the Echo --- it must be a special person that can have a whole thunderstorm to announce theirs.

Happy Birthday bloke.

My mum always says about 45seconds after I was born the Red Arrows did a flypast over Rochford Hospital!

How strange, 45 seconds after I was born, my mum and dads social life flew past.

Rochford Hospital though - think 99% of the people I know were born there!
