Which year it was that there was a massive thunderstorm during the
Wimbledon tennis championships? I think they had over 1" rain in under an hour! I haven't been able to Google it, as I don't know the year... -- Paul Hyett, Cheltenham |

I recall an intepid person still sitting at the top of the stand, a cameraman perhaps, umbrella being battered by wind & rain. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl Snow videos: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3QvmL4UWBmHFMKWiwYm_gg |

I haven't been able to Google it, as I don't know the year... It was on the 2nd Friday, so must have been July 5. The 'Wimbledon Compendium' says that 1.5 inches fell in 20m. The Cliff Richard sing-a-long was on July 3, 1996. -- Brian W Lawrence Wantage Oxfordshire |
