Sadly, not getting Advance Warning here. Did see hints of a real doozy of a storm 20/30+ miles north of South Downs, flashing away near Gatwick. Plenty of rain, just no “ooh-aah-squeak” flash and bang.
Wouldn’t have to rush out and rescue dog from garden. Our Staffordshire Wuss Terrier would be in the dry way before we are! Would have to grab the tortoises though – don’t think they would float. Do you have a dog to rescue, Georgie? If so, what make..?
