Thunderstorms - anyone else being deluged?

[Jenkins]

It's mow been here some time - pitch black apart from the lightning, keep losing internet & TV signal, very heavy rain & strong wind.

Bloody impressive as I do like a good storm.

The most amazing sight is thunderstorms on the distant horizon seen at night from a plane window. I've seen it twice, the first time on a flight along the edge of the Himalaya from Lahore to Dhaka and the second time going from Johannesburg to Nairobi roughly following the Rift Valley. The storms were lined up, probably 100 miles distant, billowing high into the sky and lit up from inside by a constant flicker of lightning like a row of immense Chinese lanterns. Spectacular.

And shortly after, it'll be heading my way too...

I think you're going to miss out on this one - it's heading straight up so Norwich & the area to the east are in for some fun.

Got some great lightning here just north of Ipswich. Spoke to my dad a few minutes ago and their power is out just south east of Ipswich after a particularly impressive lightning strike nearby.

No rain today we really need some

Just one rumble and a few spots of rain just now. We are needing a lot more than that to clear the air a bit

Thunderstorms !..... You lucky, lucky barstewards.
We had mental lightning storms a couple of nights ago, but no rain with it.... and strangely no thunder with it either.

we had non stop lightening for about 1/2 hour Tuesday night followed by very heavy rain and thunder

Still nothing near LBA airport, little less humid but still sticky as hell for 22:20.

Lightning strike at my parents place where I was. Knocked out sockets, luckily trip worked and no Virgin media since. Think other places too close by as a fire engine came down cul de sac on a recce. Luckily the burning smell dissipated. I was in entrance hall with friend with door open as were getting stuff in out of rain

Somewhat scary

Rain lasted about 10 minutes and even more humid!!

 

[Rezillo]

Cracking stuff in mid Suffolk.
