In Bambury Street, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, roads were flooded and lightning struck properties.

在特倫特河畔斯托克、朗頓的班伯里街，道路被洪水淹沒，房屋被雷擊。

Police and firefighters cordoned off parts of the street, with two police cars and two fire engines at the scene.

警方和消防隊員封鎖了部分街道，現場有兩輛警車和兩輛消防車。

One of the evacuated neighbours told Stoke-on-Trent Live they heard "a massive bang" and shortly after, the roof of a home went up in flames.

一名被疏散的鄰居告訴特倫特河畔斯托克直播，他們聽到“一聲巨響”，不久之後，一棟房屋的屋頂著火了。

"We'd only just got home. It was about 5.30pm and we heard a massive bang. A car stopped outside and the driver shouted that the roof was on fire. I think about four homes, including ours, were evacuated. We've all been sat in one of the neighbours' houses."

「我們剛到家。當時是下午 5.30 左右，我們聽到一聲巨響。一輛汽車停在外面，司機大喊屋頂著火了。我想包括我們在內的四戶人家都被疏散了。我們」我們都坐在鄰居的一所房子裡。

According to the Met Office, Cornwall has experienced most of the thunderstorms, with some large hail reported in the region too.

據英國氣象局稱，康沃爾郡經歷了大部分雷暴天氣，該地區也出現了一些大冰雹。

Met Office meteorologist Becky Mitchell said: "The area we have seen most of the thunderstorms so far has been Cornwall, and there’s been some large hail reported there as well."

英國氣象局氣象學家貝基·米切爾說：“到目前為止，我們看到大部分雷暴的地區是康沃爾郡，據報道那裡也有一些大冰雹。”

Ms Mitchell added that the southwestern county has also seen lightning. She warned there was "probably quite a lot of water on the road", after reports of about 30mm of rainfall in the area, which could lead to "tricky driving conditions".

米切爾女士補充說，西南部縣也看到了閃電。她警告稱，據報道該地區降雨量約為 30 毫米，“路上可能有大量積水”，這可能會導致“駕駛條件變得棘手”。

"The only other place I've seen some thunder strikes was quite early this morning, about 6am, and that was in the Surrey and Oxfordshire region," the meteorologist said.

氣象學家說：“我唯一看到雷擊的地方是今天早上，大約早上 6 點，那就是薩里和牛津郡地區。”

A weather warning for thunderstorms and heavy rain is in force across much of southern England and Wales.

英格蘭南部和威爾斯大部分地區已發布雷暴和大雨天氣警報。

The yellow warning, which covers all of Wales and south-west England, the Midlands and parts of south-east and northern England, came into effect at 1am and lasts until midnight on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Environment Agency has issued three flood warnings - River Tean at Fole and Beamhurst, River Tean at Spath area and River Tean at Upper Tean, Lower Tean and Checkley - which means that flooding is expected.

Earlier today we reported that a tornado was spotted sweeping over a quiet Cotswolds town on Friday.

今天早些時候，我們報導週五龍捲風席捲了安靜的科茨沃爾德小鎮。

The fierce spiral of wind, caught on camera by resident Rich Martin, raged through Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire causing havoc to anything in its path as millions were hit by storms.

Tewkesbury's tornado hit at around 4.24pm - around four hours after the town of Aldershot, Hampshire, faced a similar tornado which damaged homes and uprooted trees.

圖克斯伯里的龍捲風於下午 4 點 24 分左右襲擊，大約四個小時前，漢普郡的奧爾德肖特鎮也遭遇了類似的龍捲風，房屋受損，樹木被連根拔起。

Rich, 38, a builder and dad to six-year-old Grace, said his daughter was "flabbergasted" by the freak weather event.

It was a spectacle in real time. "It lasted around 20 seconds. The winds got up very dramatically, felt like a scene from twister. Right place, Right time!"

這是一場即時的奇觀。 “持續了大約20秒。風刮得非常猛烈，感覺就像是龍捲風的場景。正確的地點，正確的時間！”
