Storm over Henfield or near enough

[Marc]

slumped in my chair looking north westwards from my Shoreham window, I've enjoyed a lightning show for the past 20mins or so. Would presume the storm is heading to or at Henfield by now

20:12hrs:
Met Office: London South East England: latest


Looks like another one further out to see and coming in to Brighton within the next hour

 

[Cpt. Spavil]

[Scarface]

Just passed north of Burgess Hill. No rain here but lots of forked lightening in the distance.

 

[Eagle Slayer]

Pissing down in Worthing, thunder and lightning for last 45mins

 

[Albion Edd]

Can see flashes of lightning in the distance towards the north from Ditchling

 

[Cpt. Spavil]

ill go and stand on my roof for a better look then

 

[Marc]

this is strange, I can see the lightning (bolt going across the sky) and it must be right over lancing/worthing no more than 5miles max away. yet I dont hear the thunder for 15secs...does this mean the actual noise is directed from the point of contact of the bolt at one end?

 

[Trigger]

I've just gruffed.

Will it drift Eastbourne way??

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Will rural Brighton stay clear...... up on the hills.

 

[Trigger]

Will it drift Eastbourne way??

It's good enough to drift into the next county.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

It's good enough to drift into the next county.

Is it good enough to drift 250 miles up to Lincolnshire ?

 

[NMH]

Sounding a bit big here right now.

I hope the local animals will be okay.... starting with the little black lab/whippet mix quaking under my feet right now!

 

[Gully]

I am going to rush around and shut all my windows...just in case!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Looks like it's out at sea from where I am.

I think you're safe then seagullsovergrimsby.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Just seen a few forks west of the Heath

 

[Trigger]

Still struggling to work out if these light rumbles I'm hearing are thunder or my chicken jalfrezi
