Theres definitely a few storms about. Went out to the spar shop to get some scran and shat myself when the whole sky lit up and a crack of thunder
Thought

No atomic weapons place at Harwell and there’s nothing on that site that could create a massive nuclear explosion.

I did not mate. Don't think I've ran through the park opposite my house so fast
