There's an Electrical Storm (apparently)

[Dave the OAP]

Just got back from hove seafront. Absolutely incredible scenes. It looked as though someone was shooting fireworks into the clouds!

Years ago sailing into barcelona, we saw this similar bolt and flickering lightening with no sound. Just incredible and went on for about five hours!

Amazing

ignore. Beaten to it!

Anyone seen this incredible cloud to east of Brighton now giving off constant lightening. Bizarre, never seen anything like it.

That'll be a super cell out to sea. Took this picture of one forming yesterday over the Downs; lot of energy in that cloud.

Haven't attached a video before but if it works this was my vid from flight

Not worked if you go advanced it should work.

From those videos, looks like the sort of storm you get here in the summer evenings. I have never seen anything like them in the UK either. They are beautiful from a distance, not much fun if the lightning is striking land near you. Some strikes even 2 or 3 kms away rattle the windows of the house.

Just driven from Haywards Heath to Burgess Hill, absolutely spectacular lightning show off to the East. Very much like that we had a few weeks back.

Boooo,can't see nothing from Bevendean,what's the chances of this hitting land

 

[Hyperion]

It's off Langley point,, it's like a electric storm over Eastbourne ...

It's like rush hour with so many cars coming to the beach

We've got nothing in Reigate at the moment but we had a real nasty storm very early this morning.
I was woken up at 1am with monsoon like rain outside,vivid sheet lightning and earth shattering thunder which sounded right overhead. I haven't seen lightning quite as intense since a trip to the States many years ago
Lasted for about 30 minutes

Please try again. What time was your flight?

[HawkTheSeagull]

Was rather fun in Hailsham this evening.....I was an Assistant Ref for a football match. Luckily we avoided the heavy rain only a couple of miles away in Polegate and Eastbourne.

 

[Notters]

Just got home to Newhaven. Still the odd flash in the distance to the east.

Looks like a ridiculous storm in France on raintoday
