I could see all the lightning as I looked up the valley (towards Silsden) the sky was lit up as by a military barrage, then torrential rain, I was watching it by the door and all of a sudden the barrage became real.
Ssome were an inch across as they smashed down I had to abandon the vigil as they were coming into the house, I wouldn't have wanted to have been hit by them.
My car has dents all over the bonnet, roof and boot.

Really?! Holy fk that's terrible news. I'd be absolutely gutted. Any pics?
I'm not far from the airport and didn't get any rain or "weather" here last night. Heard some thunder rumbling about in the distance but nothing else. As the crow flies Riddlesden and Silsden are not that far from here, just over the other side of Ilkley Moor. Amazing how the weather can be so completely different over a few miles.
Not sure they will photograph very well, the bonnet has about 20 5p size dimples on it, the roof has 5 or 10 and the boot and the tops of the doors.

They will photograph just fine if you're not hamfisted and the light is decent.
I am and it's over cast, trust me they are there, if it's sunny tomorrow I'll try and capture them.Thing is I don't want my new M5 taken to some crappy insurance body shop for filler and a mop, lets see what they say in the morning.
