Driving back from mountain biking in the Merthyr area, I could see one very big thunderstorm building in the distance. It hit Blaenavon as I arrived there. I've seen ones like this in the Alps but never in the UK. It caused flash flooding and striped most of the new leaves off the trees.

  • I'm surprised the damn things didn't go through your windscreen. I live in Blaenavon. My mother was stupid enough to open the door when this was happening. Literally they were like bullets coming through the air. I don't think anyone has ever seen anything like it! Also believe it or not.. it was sunny just half hour ago before this happened.

  • Wow this was in the uk? down south we have crap weather like sunshine how boring

  • This is awesome!!
