****ing hell!!!!

That was a lot of lightning..., I don't think I've seen anything like it, lightning every 3 seconds, Not bad for a supposed "Dry and Settled Night" according to the bbc... Im still seeing the occasional distant flashes of lightning still

 

[Leighgull]

You ain't kidding. Ten to four in the morning and nearly blown out of bed by lightning strike next door.

I think one crack of lightning/thunder was absolutely simultaneous over Camden. I nearly shat myself. Scared the living crap out of me, literally.

Still, at my age it's good to know my bowels are still working.

 

[carteater]

There's still lightning around and its 3-4 hours later...

Thats nasty...

That was one hell of a storm! I live fairly high up and was able to watch the lightning strike in the distance. Never seen a storm like it before with such a large amount of strikes for a period of time

 

[Leighgull]

Thats nasty...

No one injured but their tree looks a bit sorry for itself.

That's the biggest storm I've ever seen in this country by miles. Never seen pink lightening here before, it was like being in the tropics.

Sounds like the type of storm we get nearly every night in the summer. I used to enjoy thunder storms in the UK, but not the ones in Africa! Another example of the climate in the UK changing?

My ancient cat seems to have gone missing, every morning without fail she is begging for food but not today.

Was a good storm though, even got the wife out of bed.

 

[Norman Potting]

Bizzarely no sign of a storm - on the met office weather forecast app.

 

[KJP]

I slept through it, I'm rather gutted as I love a good storm

 

[readingstockport]

In Reading it was smaller than the massive one we had last month but still quite major.

 

[dazzer6666]

Was unbelievable over Burgess Hill. Don't think I have ever seen anything like it in the UK before.

[Insel affe]

I relocated from the loft extension down stairs to the spare room I was that scared,although I was ever so careful as not to wake the wife.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Didn't notice anything here despite windows being open etc.

 

[The Large One]

Hell of a light show, like an episode of Scooby Doo.

Thought about getting up to watch.

A bungalow opposite me was struck by lightning.
Fire fighters out between 215 and 345.
