Thanks, I just wondered - I know I could google but I was busy looking at the storm - poor divils

It's rumbling out there...not massive yet ( she says hopefully). I don't think it's raining. Dog is getting that wide eyed shell shocked look. She'll be hiding upstairs soon.

Had some rain here in The Bay earlier, no thunder . . . . . . . . . . . yet

[Baldric]

Looks like it's moving into Wiltshire and Hampshire now

Funnily enough all is calm in NE England. No rain, thunder or lightning. We always think of the South as having the best of UK weather, but apparently not.

[Baldric]

We're right on the 'front in Herne Bay, we've had some spectacular Thunder Storms go through at times.

I'm in the SW, and we didn't have it too bad. Lots of continuously rumbling thunder and a bit of lightning, but nothing too horrendous.

Heading North now by the looks of it, I should think we'll get some tomorrow ( West Mids ).

[pastafreak]

It's positively HAMMERING it down right now...lots of rumbling but no dramatic thunder.

[tonyav]

Ohhh it's changed direction and is heading East.

Had the mother and father of storms here in Midlands around 3am, lasted about 90 minutes all told. Pretty spectacular.
