I can tell you now, this is one of the finest thunderstorms I've ever witnessed, torrential rain, huge sized hail, flashing every five seconds both IC and +CG just simply wow Wow wow!!! Loads of video too!! What a storm

Visible lightning now to my South! Whoop!!

Just woke up after drifting to sleep on the sofa to find this!!!! Well well well!! What a lovely surprise!!! At last!!! :-) Sorry the images are upside down!

Quite breezy here this morning,but feeling some pleasant warmth from the sun

Yup can confirm we have had a brief snow shower here too, very welcome indeed

Was an excellent forecast i thought, they are keeping an eye on a few things for sure!

You know it's a good one when the power goes!! :-)

Really stormy out there now, nothing extra ordinary in terms of big wind gusts as yet but it sounds wild blowing through the trees, you can't beat that sound!

Starting to get quite gusty here at the mo...

WOW!!

A quick video here letting you hear the roar of the wind last night, the moonlight makes it quite an eerie experience!

Lol! Yeah still quite gusty here too, trees still wobbling around!

I know! I can only assume maybe it fell in front and as they braked they went up and over?! Madness! Hope you escaped without too much damage? (Apart from the pub gutters!)

Can't believe last night really, was one hell of a storm thats for sure! My fence didn't make it as expected! Lots of trees down round here, one car had a very lucky escape on the Verwood to Ringwood Road, and as I mentioned yesterday, the building site at the Local Morrissons took a hit. Crazy stuff.

85.2mph gust recorded now at Poole Harbour......wow!
