Is this a prototype example of the future, is it possible to say that the chances of kind of scenario are going to increase in time?
well you would have to be blind not to see that global climate is on the change ..if the sea temps get warmer then there is plenty of hurricane food ..

Prob unlikely but not ignored
it would not take much thou..shift of 50 miles to the east could make things very messy ..
i feel for our irish weather fellows ..looks like a low level panic is setting in ..
but i am seeing plenty of good advice and kind words ..

Some amazing photo's and video footage posted on here from last night's storms
for here in deepest, darkest Wiltshire, it was worth the wait....For most of yesterday evening and into the early hours I was in despair seeing storm after storm pass either 50 miles to the west or 50 miles to the east, but around midnight, lightning activity picked up from those very active cells between Bournemouth & Southampton. These storms gradually lifted northwards whilst decaying but from around 2:30 - 4:30am gave some quite impressive amount of lightning with low distant growls of thunder...I checked the radar and live lightning maps and decided to call it a night as the storms were continuing to decay....I couldn't sleep though, so popped out into the garden around 5am for a morning ciggy and cuppa when suddenly my immediate impression was that the world had just blown up!...A huge bolt of lightning hit the fields around 200m from my garden fence line followed instantly by a concussive blast of thunder, I could actually feel the pressure wave!.....Needless to say, in the surrounding houses, lights immediately came on as people woke up obviously thinking like me that an atom bomb had been detonated!......It was the complete surprise of the bolt that scared the beejeesus out of me!......Anyhoos, there were a few more distant growls and that was it, as soon as the storm crossed the M4 a few miles to my north, it died completely
for me the lighting was visable from 230 onwards it was not till about 3am ish it started kicking off ..shotgun thunder and creepers glore..got some lovely footage from my weather cam just need to edit it ..

Flashes literally going off left, right and centre now....it was all out west, then it hit us overhead briefly....now I can see spectacular flashes eastwards over Gtr London area and north towards Watford/Luton....
Ok here is two photos from my not so great video but this is what I was referring to IE the dramatic wind and low-hanging cloud....
Video attached....excuse my language....can't describe the exhilaration I get from seeing that lightning!
