We're generally lucky in mid-UK not to have extremes like tornadoes etc., but it got pretty extreme at Cropredy last year. Somebody said the sky looked like that in the "Ten Commandments" Red Sea parting scene, and they weren't wrong.

We got sudden cold winds, monsoon standard rain, and hail - several times over 3 days. No lightning actually over the field luckily, but Simon Nicol onstage did ask people to lower flagpoles etc. No Pharaoh or chariots either but it felt like Yul was due any second.

BUT aside from being wet, nobody of the 15000+ was really worried as there is always superb organisation in place there. Bar, toilets, waste, safety, everything. Proper exit signs. People to help get cars out of the parks. Emergency phone number on wristbands. Stage built by pros. And this year, even St John's Ambulance Rapid Response pushbikes - with blue lights!
