When is it going to stop... Raining

[cyberknight]

When it started raining here it was like a cloud burst, I'd get the washing in quick.

indeed , we got it in just in time before the full force of the storm hit . We are now right under the storm so the cat is hiding and i wonder how long before the interweb goes down .

You might have it for a while. It is still thundering and raining here, though the sky looks like it is finally clearing.

There is no rain here at the moment it's been a nice sunny day, if a bit humid.
Thunder storms are forecast for the early hours of the morning continuing through much of Sunday.

That's how it started here, and then all of a sudden it started to bucket down. I thought it was dying down but the thunder and rain has worsened.

According to the web, it's getting near us in SE Manc - still out at Buxton, and not as ferocious looking.
