[News] A storm is a coming

[Normal Rob]

Astonishing electrical storm around midnight here in Somerset. Sky was more light than dark for about 45 minutes.

Well, heard a couple of rumbles of thunder last night. Then, because I was working late, watched the weather radar to see if it would hit. Nope ... slid past just to the west of Uckfield.

Same in Gloucester, but strangely not very noisy at all, just a quiet rumbling.

Yeah, it woke me up in the early hours; great to watch.

Never seen anything like it before though - usual thunderstorm is a flash of lighting every couple of minutes followed by the thunder, but this was continual lightning, more like a strobe. Beautiful, but bizarre.

A few years ago we were sailing into Barcelona from Palma and after we went to bed, and had been asleep for a while we were both woken up by noise coming from other cabins....oi oi we thought, but there was this flash of brilliant light came through the balcony door.....anyway, we went outside and were treated to 2 hours of the most fantastic electrical storm I have ever seen. There was no noise apart from the occasional crackle but there was countless lightning bolts, forks and flashes and we looked around and practically everyone on board was on their balcony or on the top deck being treated to the most fantastic free light show anyone had ever seen.

Nature in the raw is something to behold.

Are we talking about the storm or a personal issue

No just the storm. No story here...

You probably should have put your pyjamas on, though...

I get live stream via your link and a fine view of a jogger and a mum with pushchair - not so much as a "sprinter"
Which "Terrier" are you?

No.40. Almost all the others are named after some pretty dismal places.

A storm is a coming

A Boris shit storm.

A Boris shit storm indeed. It's all a bit Mary Poppins. Heavy weather brewin' and no mistake.

Pissed down with rain near Canterbury, no light show for us Men of Kent (or is it Kentish Men)!

No 40 a famous one still alive and well "overseas" - too long since my last visit. My local one, 84, long gone but here is a photo of her from a time when facial hairs on train crew was compulsory.
