Still going on and off since just after six (managed to get the bins out without getting too wet) nearest storm was around 8.30pm. Lovely :D

Modem went down for about half an hour.
Saw quite a few direct strikes down to earth. One of the biggest so far this year.
I've seen a lot worse though, but this was good.
A little scary too when I'm up in the roof.

Got a camera?

Gotta be better that the stuff we have here....

Re: Thunder and lightning
 

More work tomorrow with all this lightening :mis:

Dead quiet here - no rain AFAIK and definitely no thunder. All hot and humid still.

Watch the lip, kid, or this could be the year you cop it...!! :mad:

Re: Thunder and lightning
 

Would have loved to but just when I was about to, the thunderstorm stopped.
I'm hoping for a repeat performance tommorow.
Although it may come back later tonight. Its boiling here right now. I hope it rains.

Bah, nothing to write home about in Swindon today... few flashes o' lightning, the odd pathetic rumble, but no great storms.

The best storms I've seen were in the south of France during a heatwave a few years back. That took the electricity out for a very long time, and scared me half to death. Normally I really enjoy storms, but not that one :eek:

Re: Thunder and lightning
 

Real proper storm here, started last night about 9pm. Looks like the drains overflowed as there is dirt all over the roads.

Re: Thunder and lightning
 

All we have now is rain. And I've got to pop to my college to talk to my tutor too :(

Re: Thunder and lightning
 

Around 9/10pm last night we had some lightning and then it rained about midnight and really did come down but apart from that, that was it.

This morning its very cloudy and been drizzling all morning.
