We use to get some really good storms here tho but last few years they have really dropped off the radar! I can remember storms starting in the evening and lasting hours, getting woken up at 2 in the morning and watching the lighting till 5, the going to work at 6! I can even remember been at junior school in the early 80s in the afternoon and it went like night! It was one of those things that stuck with me!
Yes if you love storms dont move to Shropshire but if you like stratus clouds then i think it could be a good move
