Blackpool: Torrential Rain & Thunderstorms ⛈️⚡️☔️

[@jayoneill1533]

I agree with you Stephen, it’s time for the Council to stop building new office buildings for themselves and repair and paint the Promenade. For a town that’s a tourist destination the condition of it is a disgrace. 😢

[@DMC888]

Spend a bit more on cleaning up the rubbish on the streets. Blackpool can be a windy place, so rubbish gets blown everywhere. Many European cities have their streets cleaned every morning.

[@nickthomas181]

​@@DMC888I go every year in August the rubbish on the streets is off the scale.Blackpool Council are not on top of it.The Collanades are in desperate need of refurbishing.

[@fluffymacfly3405]

I agree pier as well looking scruffy

[@curtisducati]

Council too busy sending themselves an Email on how diverse they are ! Blackpool is a mess when you walk round it , half is almost derelict and un-useable , a lot needs demolishing and rebuilding , council have millions but it all go's missing , strange as everyone of them has a new Audi or BMW round the back ? Strange lol

[@DMC888]

@@curtisducati that’s another problem, the council are not commercially aware. They block planning applications giving owners no choice but to leave these old buildings to rot. This has a knock on affect for the whole community.

[@mikecaine3643]

Blackpool council should do-up middle walk but also fit lighting and cameras - that should sort out the dodgy types who hang about there . The storms arrived in Oldham about 5-30 ish .

[@shytot4x4]

I can smell that ramp down to Middle Walk from here in West Yorkshire...

[@JesusIstheNameTakenInVain]

Haha 😂

[@waynepaxford7263]

Great video Stephen I do also agree with you its about time blackpool council should spend some money on it

[@shanebyrne7020]

Thanks for another great video Stephen from sunny Dublin

[@Shaunsfavourites]

I remember Derby Baths. I remember those metal frames for your clothes and a mesh crate at the bottom for your shoes. Each one numbered so you could collect it afterwards.🎉

[@TheROLLER1953]

Reminded me of "Riders of the storm" by The Doors , stephen , excellent video, well done,, from steve.

[@paullongmore3082]

Another brilliant video stephen truly are a credit to Blackpool 😊

[@juliepownall1063]

Hi stephen love a good storm we had one here arouhd 4-30ish very humid also

[@stormytempest6521]

That looks like AMBUSH ALLY.

[@JulieJackson-gw2vh]

Had thunder a lighting last night some today as well in Yorkshire😮😮

[@davidpendry7731]

Sadly I was last in Blackpool back in 1976 and I would say those walks haven’t been painted since then.

[@juliec70]

Just had a thunderstorm in Halifax, now its blue skys , love a good storm, ty Stephen 😊 x

[@jeankelso7172]

That hotel next to the Derby site was built on once was pembroke gardens. The hotel was first called the Pembroke.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yes, then the Stakis, Hilton & now The Grand.

[@martindowns4979]

I live behind st Paul s church and just back in time and watched it from inside

[@patparry389]

Was bad in Liverpool at 4 oclock this afternoon Thunder and lightning and the Rain was throwing it down.😱

It is horrible in Blackpool when it rains it does look like it needs painting Stephen it would not last long with the north weather it’s a constant battle.

[@markabbott4786]

Nice one Stephen

[@lynnballington8467]

Hello Steve how are you we had rain thunderstorms yesterday here in Manchester and also today love your vidio very interested best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤😊

[@russ7151]

The camera you was showing us in the last video I'm gonna get one

[@gailhickman743]

I know when a storm is coming my way because it always knocks my SKYtv off before it even gets here! Good video Steve, you're braver than me to be out in it! 🫣 💕

[@dottydot8058]

Weather always seems dramatic in blackpool whith such a large sky

[@independentpuppy7520]

I saw you on another Blackpool vid earlier. I was watching ' Random and Desperate' channel'. You met up with them for a coffee once. I think that vid was from a few months ago. There's a lot of people doing vids in Blackpool.

[@gazza2933]

Stephen I know Blackpool Tower but only through your videos do I really know about Blackpool. 👍 There is good and bad everywhere. However, Middle Walk is a disgrace! What must visitors think! I'm sure that we will all get better weather soon. Have a great week Blackpool. Wish You Were Here? The East Coast (Skeg) ⛱🐬🌞

[@EmmaKelly74159]

Thanks for braving the storm well done. Stephen. 😘💚

Thanks Emma.

I got drenched by a big wave fishing last week in rough sea right off the wall where you was filming. Same day I brought you and Chris the Blackpool t shirts lol.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Must do another night walk down there!

[@junelaw4162]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool most definitely also another one on Cookson Street 🤣 👍

[@dianemckill5708]

I remember when you did the walk through in the dark and nearly tripped over someone because you couldn't see them.

[@davidnm21]

Yes I remember that Diane. I think the pair had been drinking or worse smoking pot and Stephen stated it stank of toilet smells. Don’t think you would catch me down there at night.

[@wendyjones2351]

Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always there was a storm here in Nottingham but it didn't last long the colonnades could look lovely again but as you said is it worth it have a great evening xx

[@Letsfreakingo]

I remember that one too. And I also remember the one when he walked past a premier shop gone quarter past eleven on a Sunday night, a homeless man stopped him and asked him for money, he said the money was allegedly for “baby milk” Edit:😂

[@Letsfreakingo]

The video is titled.. Ghost Town Blackpool: Streets of South Shore. The man asked him 1:50 into the video

[@truthalwaysshines583]

Hi Stephen Always love your channel..myself wife and child heading over to Blackpool today from Ireland for the week ..luving it

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Have a great stay!

[@simonrose8700]

We had thunderstorms yesterday and today here in Cheltenham and I was in Tewkesbury yesterday when a substation was hit by lightning

[@patparry389]

Great vid Stephen thank you.👍

Always enjoy the videos on your channel best of luck with everything 👍👍

[@georgesmellie8717]

Thanks again for another great vlog Stephen i hope you are dried out

[@wendykev5623]

A good jet wash would work wonders on middle walk walls..

[@neilcunningham3280]

I got caught in a storm yesterday in St Helens when I was watching some football. Thankfully I was under shelter

[@truthalwaysshines583]

The Derby Baths...when they put the slides outside in the 80s...i think one was called the dark hole. ..

[@stevensmith7460]

Great video Stephen, should be a petition got going to get that area sorted. I've said before that area from the cenotaph to gynn Square always gets forgotten when they are throwing money about. Looking at it if something isn't done soon it will become dangerous and nearly a half a mile of prom will have to be shut.

[@Gail-30]

Good on you braving the bad weather

[@theabandonedhunter3604]

Had a thunderstorm ⛈️ in Worcestershire last night sir. Middle walk… I have seen a few of your videos here and I think the council would waste any funds on it. It will only attract the same people. Take care …. Smithy

[@dianeshepherd7913]

Yes would be good to paint up middle walk, maybe to make some plans for it, as it has charactor

[@philipwoodacre1644]

not many beer monsters about.

[@stephenguppy7882]

I remember when I was at school, we were taught lightning comes first because light travels faster than sound. Great if soggy video. Hope you were ok.👍

[@janobyrne2424]

Thanks for another great video Stephen, hope you didn't get too wet! Was told as a child to watch for the lightening then count one second, two seconds etc until the thunder struck, the time between the lightening and thunder was the distance of miles the thunder was away from you. Love the sheet lightening myself lights up the sky wonderfully.😊😊😊

[@JamesSmith-iz4mv]

Always things to do in Blackpool raining or not Great video once again Stephen thanks

[@jacquelinemccann1493]

Hi Stephen been humid all day in Glasgow had a few spits of rain but nothing too bad 😊

Thanks Stephen. It looks very threatening. You are a dedicated You Tuber!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@malcolmcharlton6954]

We didn't get the storm to about 10.30pm on Saturday night in Cumbria we were at our caravan at cockermouth and the lightning was very bright and the thunder was like cannon fire around fells it lasted till just after midnight

[@hazelmanship7516]

Hi Stephen, we had another juicy storm 6pm for 40 mins , torrential rain and right flashes and bangs,fine now bright sunshine, had 24deg and very nice hot day. Great catch thanks for sharing 😊

[@iainlawrie8033]

My Wife and I are just home from a wee break in Blackpool, we went to Blackpool zoo on Sunday and the weather was beautiful then got back into town then the heavens opened up so had no option but to take shelter in the Albert and the Lion, ha! ha!

[@JamesStoddah]

I think it hit South Shore harder. Was mesmerising to watch.

[@irishravr632]

Belfast is getting the same, no lightning yet, plenty of heavy downpours though.

[@nessah23]

It looks rough by the road. Wow

Are we just going to brush over the the guy giving a seatie well towing a quad bike 😅

💯Definitely the most brutalalist building on the promenade.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

The windows are designed to face the sea.

[@russscott646]

Great vid as always,it's such a shame about middle n central walk, always spotless there in 70s,when I holidayed with my grantparents,yes money does need to put into this great Victorian structure, before it becomes like bond st,then it will be too late,n gone

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Totally agree

[@eviesmith4495]

We had some thunder today

[@tinniswood2577]

If they gentrify Middle Walk, where will it push the beer monsters and the like?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

No point in trying to gentrify it. They'll still go there.

[@kevinappleton2539]

Another fine video Stephen always enjoy them 👍🏻

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Kevin 👍

[@centureye]

There was thunder near Lowton but was quite faint

[@JackParker-c7p]

Rain just normal rain in Liverpool today Stephen.

[@joymaxfield7589]

Hi Steven we had a bad storm at 4 ,thunder and lightning ,it was very heavy rain .👍👍

[@denisemottley22705]

Not much lightning here. About 35 miles from Blackpool. Thunder was loud and rain heavy but not for long. The darker clouds seem to be going further up North. Glad we don't have smelly vision. I don't like that skanky area. 👍🙏

It came down here in blackpool too! Not far from you !

[@Alice-ub2kq]

Your a great vlogger Stephen but honestly it is so depressing seeing Blackpool now. We have stopped coming because it is so downtrodden.shame cos have gone for years since the kids were small but the last time we were there in April this year we said that’s it no more .

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Alice. Blackpool Council need to take a leaf out of other seaside town's books. Llandudno is one such place.

[@TinWhistleTV]

I slept like a baby through the storms, as did the dog beside me, the storms don't bother my dog or I. Hope you are well Stephen.

[@emmapullan68]

It was rely bad down south end very windy multiple lightening strikes and really heavy rain. I was at solaris centre

[@maccate6868]

Wish the council would do something about the colonnades. If the council would fund the tools and paint, I’m sure there would be plenty of volunteers in the autumn winter spring season to tidy up North Promenade. I’d happily volunteer 🔨🎨

[@carolsmith6012]

I have to agree with you, a bit of paint would do the colonnades a world of good, cos they are not going to demolish them,

I hope so too

Stephen, why has middle walk a notorious reputation?

Cruising, alcoholics, drug use & violent attacks, mostly in the early hours. It’s been like this for decades.
