Much better! Lots of thunder. the lightening was unfortunately hidden by clouds but you could see where it lit up. Any more?

Is that heading my way? (rochester) Ha, i'm in that littler bit just below Gravesend that seems to be missing out.

Unimpressed so far. Hope there will be better later.

Where the hell was this? We got the heavy rain and some rumbles and one flash (but that was in the clouds). No fair! And I'm only a couple of miles away.

Well that was all a bit rubbish. heavy rain the odd rumble and one flash. Hope better is on the way later

Rumbling has stopped but sky getting darker....

Which direction do you think it's coming from so I can get my camera ready?

Gone very 'calm before the storm' here. Constant rumbling in the distant now. if there is any justice in the world we will get a good storm. COME ON!

It's only mild thunder in Medway at the moment. Pray for us.

Pretty please tell me that bad boy is heading towards us.

I will try and video if we get anything. i can hear very distant rumbles.

I may have just heard a distant rumble. COME ON! GIVE ME A ******* STORM!

Oh come on!

Oi you lot with the storms, share the wealth!

I don't have the NW radar, I'm too cheap! If I don't get something I may actually cry. i have waited YEARS for a good storm.

Oh It's like there's a barrier above my house.

Hmmmm, I have a pressure headache.

According to forcasts NW Kent is due thunderstorm sta about 3pm, do we think that will happen?

So is that going to miss me again? What did I do to annoy the weather gods?

Was just out in the garden and my ears have popped. Coincidence or a sign of things to come?

Very little here yet and it's super hot again today. Sky is hazy.

I am officially heartbroken, no storm. However all sources including met and bbc are forecasting thunderstorms for the afternoon here so might finally get a pay off. Stay tuned folks

I can't see anything kicking off tongiht, maybe tomorrow. i am officially disappointed.

BBC now forecasting thunderstorm for tomorrow in my area despite no Cape and high Li values! I really must log off now damnit!

I think it is time for us all to join hands in a circle and pray, everyone join hands and repeat after me: Oh Thor, great one and bringer of joy to us weather nerds, Please grant us which we so longed for and deserve, Have sweated and hair has frizzed for months on end for, Have watched radar and had hopes dashed for, We faithfully chase and photograph for, Have waited with baited breath for long years for, We ask you oh noble and powerful Thor, That you bring to us a wonderful, huge, last all night thunderstorm. We pray in mighty Thor's name, Amen.
