Hope nobody got hurt in areas affected, not sure if it was just very local to me or not! I know a lot of damage has been done in my area

I am very much for real this is in Leicestershire area! Apparently a tornado came over and brought these with them. It must have been very localised but it was certainly phenomenal to see. I think there was tornados and floods around the area as nearby shows have been cancelled but the hail came down worst right where I was

ETA- my sister's hands who are showing the comparison and pretty big hands as well- larger than most other people's

No hail storm but huge thunderstorm flooded my fields, and roads look like a raging river

Hope no one was hit by them they're pretty big
 
Oh my Lord!!.

Im in Warwickshire, and have heard thunder in the distance and had a bit of rain, but it seems to have calmed down now.
 
glad it wasnt just me.. im out in loughborough in the office out in burton on the wolds and it was amazing the whole office was fixated with looking out the window. IT literally went dark as night and then folowing that it was the mad hail storm.
 
Yes it went very very dark, all of the 2012 end of the world believers came out of the woodwork again :p I was running round like a headless chicken going 'where's the cat! quick get to the horses!' but luckily I've escaped with the family car having a dented bonnet and a back light smashed- many people out on the streets looking at cars and houses with totally smashed windows.. I'm a bit in shock it was insane
 
I got off lightly and just have a dented bonnet, but the MD has lost his conservatory and his solar panels, his son has had his car bodywork smashed up and another friend has lost his greenhouse. It's like the end of world round here! Roads are flooded and everything is backed up with massive hailstones!

Current count is six smashed windescreens...

I have never seen anything like it and am worried for my horses... :(

And it's just started chucking it down again.

:eek::eek::eek:

I'm in leicestershire! We've just had some cracking thunderstorms but no hail like this!!!!! EEK!
 
The storm is apparently Coventry way too according to a couple of friends.. One is in a boat on a lake :o
 
Luckily horses have not been hit by them , sped down the road to see them and they all stood soaked through but calmly grazing in the field. I'm worried for anybody else's horses that were in the thick of it :/ they came down like bullets
 
That is crazy and very scary.
Hot and VERY humid down here in the south... a cloud threatened with thunder, but came to nothing.

Hope everyone is ok where those ice rocks hit. :eek::eek::eek:
