Floods in Newcastle

[Hexta]

Well had a nice surprise on Thursday at around 4pm it went dark, the whole sky turned white/grey, started pouring down, followed by thunder and lightning. Unusual for our area!

Here's some pics I managed to get (would of took more/videos etc but had limited space on mem card)

bottom of my street


around the corner


again a few streets from me


train's were off, they kicked everyone off and all public transport/taxi's were off so a lot of people stranded


time lapse of the storm




and finally, lightning striking the tyne bridge




In the end people ended up staying at relatives as taxi's, buses and trains were called off. Cars were stuck and ended up driving on the path/grass to get home, also a lot of cars parked on the path (must of been water damaged). Overall was quite an eventful evening.
