That's a lot of water falling on that track

And it's all done

 

[Neuk_]

We just got smashed with a massive downpour including hail, I'll need to check the rain gauge but I think it might have got blocked by hail.

Hell that was incredible... craighall side, got nailed with all sorts... at one point was so thick I could not see a meter out the window, was just a grey sheet with blue white flashes from lightning

Small quickie downpour here in Mnandi

These Kyalami commentator idiots. They say "the rain has stopped and the radar indicates were in the clear". Meanwhile the weathersa app says it will rain in 30 minutes...and boom, right on the mark.

Some "fancy" radar they've got

That's quite far away. This felt like it right on top of us, sky completely lit up like daylight.

Maybe the same, but then that must've been deafening closer to the strike.

Happened about an hr ago

Some hail. Nothing to serious, fortunately. But the rain came down in truckloads. Raining at the moment, but gentle. Just hope our catchment region is getting some of this

 

[The_Librarian]

The three frolicsome guys just kicked some poor cloud in the ganoonies, got a heavy downpour for 1 minute, and then a gradual lessening up of rain, and now it stopped.

And power just went off for 10 seconds, then came back on.
