Had a MASSIVE storm in Chippenham earlier, don't think I've ever heard thunder so loud before!

"don't think I've ever heard lightning so loud before!"

"Can I get" comes to mind. I'm waiting to hear for the first time "What can I have you?".

Thanks, didn't notice that!

Just a little tip, if you remove the ear defenders, you might see clearer.

What were you told as a child? For us it was The elephants have fallen out of bed and are lighting candles. Any other sayings?

Nice little number passing over the Lakes and over the Vale of York this afternoon. Much of the P-38s seem to be air to air. The front is moving across the Solway into the Lowther Hills according to 'Lightningmaps'. Hello, there's a flash near Hexham as I write.

Cracking storm in South Wales this morning from 03.30-0430. At first there was lightning every 10 seconds for ages in the exact small piece of sky, never seen that before. Then the whole valley was lighting up!

Rather large storm coming up from France, expected to hit the SW late evening/early morning.

Had a couple of storms roll through the Colchester area yesterday afternoon. I've never seen so much rain fall in a short space of time, it was lifting up manhole covers because the drains couldn't handle the volume of water!

Morning all.

Impressive electrical activity overhead Newbury right now.
Flashes every 5/10 seconds with thunder 2 seconds later. Some good cracks too. Thankfully not much rain....yet.

0425L
Now forked lightning overhead with instantaneous thunder.
Heavy rain now too. The morning walk round check of the truck may be delayed or curtailed...

Tell me about it! It took more than 4 hours to finally move away down here!

Well that was a night to remember. A full on lights and sound show for a good solid 90mins that ended in hail.

I do enjoy a good electrical storm and it didn't even wake my 1yr old up either, which I was pretty surprised at too.
