Light show

[Reagulls]

If you're still awake and up high enough or have a good view of the south west there is a great light show happening at the moment.

Just had the most biblical thunderstorm down here in Plymouth.
2 hours of constant lightning and I mean constant, never seen one like that in this country before.

Annoyed I missed it. Hit us around 4/5am but I had one too many whiskey last night. As such the oldest woke up and climbed into our bed and all I saw of it was popping my head round the curtains and confirming to the wife that it was indeed hammering it down before falling back to sleep

During the Brazil World Cup there were some amazing lightning storms and I ended up looking out the window more than watching the football

Wife woke me at about 4am as the lightening was virtually one long flash with a few minor breaks in between and went on for hours. My son is camping in Dorchester, I bet he had a good night

Spectacular on the edge of the Bristol Channel. Big bangs and flashes plus torrential rain. After sweating through heavy traffic it was a proper welcome to a holiday weekend.

Amazing light show - saw it coming over Dartmoor about 10.30 last night, and then hit us about 3am. Didn't get much sleep

Living in Majorca in the 80's we would sit on our terrace at night and watch the storms go up the Med. Never tired of a fantastic show.

For a minute, I feared the Albion were about to slip into some kind of ghastly, Crystal Palace style pre-match entertainment routine.

Then I realised you meant lightning. Phew. Big relief.

Checked that map out 4 hours ago and it was heading our way just over Worthing then died out.

Love watching lightning and probably the best I've seen was in the USA - Houston and Miami.

I thought this was about the plastics at Selhurst Park!

It looked amazing. Continuous thunder flashes for what was probably 100 mile stretch of the horizon. It must have hailed or rained hard overnight as my plants look a bit beaten up.

Here is one clip for thunderstorm lovers from last night, there are lots more on you tube under thunderstorm Plymouth.

Liam Dutton on Twitter said there are 465 strikes in a minute out there.

It goes up there every night to stay there, to avoid vandalism
