Storm chasing

On a bumpy road from Bluewater back to rainy Darenth today, we attempted to out run a storm. Sure, it wasn’t quite as exciting as AMERICA’S MOST AWESOME STORMS!! But we did leave the windows open in the car which led to some pretty soggy elbows I can tell you.

After seeing a strike of lightning I tried to capture some on film, but like the proverbial watched pot, I got nothing on vid.

I did manage to capture this though, which looked pretty damn cool.

  1. That was pretty much our view coming back from Legoland yesterday. Apocalyptic looking clouds closely followed by rain. And surprisingly traffic actually slowing down on the M4 (probably because, like me, their wipers were completely ineffective at clearing the windscreen too)

Peter was born and raised in Dartford, Kent by two loving parents - who were also born and raised in Dartford, Kent by their loving parents (who were also born and raised in Dartford, Kent). He has travelled the world (been to Spain twice) and met many different people (some from Surrey, others from Essex, one Glaswegian and a Spaniard named Santiago). Peter doesn't hold any awards for writing, but is the proud recipient of the Sensible Soccer knockout cup 1995 and the 2005 EA Sports FIFA European Championship. He now lives by the sea in a town notorious for smuggling in the 1700s with his wife, 2 children and crate of dusty rum bottles.
