It's the sentence under the main headline that caught my attention:

" The video, posted on YouTube today by Marc Burton, sees a thunder bolt blast the bridge packed with queues of cars "

First time I've seen a bolt of thunder. Where the hell do they get their journalists ?

I'm just impressed they didn't spell it "lightening" like the local papers round here would

The rain up here yesterday was no joke, there are quite a few people I know round here who's houses got flooded - it was utter chaos.  I had mates that didn't get home from work until after 10pm.
