Thunderbolts and lightning...
...very very frightening etc. Well, to the cat anyway. From 2am through to about an hour ago, the most incredible thunderstorm and fork lightning. It was relentless, haven't slept all night, ground shaking, hammering down outside. Gonna be hitting the coffee hard today methinks.
Anyone else have mental weather all night? Pretty sure it wasn't restricted to East Anglia.

Re: Thunderbolts and lightning...
Had some thunder on Sunday night up until the early hours, was pretty cool, managed to get a few video clips on the camera. None last night, although they are promising some for the South today and tomorrow.
All that heatwave we've been having has paid off. I love storm chasing.
Couple of stills I managed to get from Sunday night:
Sod's law though. Turn the camera off, go to bed and they get brighter and brighter But my eyes were giving up by then I was too tired....

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Re: Thunderbolts and lightning...
We've had about 4 rumbles of thunder, three last night, and one today. Had some rain, but only lasted a few minutes, and didn't clear the air at all. Still like walking into a wall of heat whenever you go outside
Re: Thunderbolts and lightning...
I slept through most of it lol
Nice pictures there

...and lo, an heir to the throne was born unto the world, and with him on that fateful night, a great storm bellowed from the east, thunderous in might, like a great hammer of war, and lightning as bright as the blade of the sword of all evil, and the people did celebrate, for they knew not that the bringer of the end of days was among them, but it would be he who would end the world as it had been known...

Re: Thunderbolts and lightning...
I was driving down the m6 early this morning and hit the rain thunder and lightening, then i hit the center of the storm. Intense wasn't the word i couldn't see more than 100m ahead in reality no more than 10ft infront was driving using the lines in the road that i could just make out and the truck infront rear lights.
Id just been passed by a lad from the same depot, i def aquaplaned a couple of times. Was a hell of a rush once id got through the worst of it.
