Enjoyed watching them videos from Amsterdam. Starts off quite strong EF0-EF1... That's a guess!? But actually I think they use the T scale??

Awesome too hear all your storm stories so far . Just had a few rumbles off to the West pushing NNW.

I'm teaching myself how to read skew t soundings, weather charts etc! It's looking interesting just West of Swansea atm

Be interesting to see that footage if you can dig it out? Yea the sound is repeating over in my head. It was insane! I've been search pootube , for similar close CG+ strike sound footage.

I wanted to get some. But phone memory is full and camera is poop on iPhone 5s

Wow! That's some dangerous stuff . I love storms, but get really paranoid about lightning strikes and even hate watching too close to windows. This was something else this morning... I know how dangerous CG+ is and this was dangerously close, say 100ft. The second 2 were even closer to even think about. I thought someone's house had blew up! That sound was freakily loud and the thunder was also insane with that storm. Glad your friend survived too! Storm on!

@SP1986 @SarahWxm @Dangerous55019 Well I nearly shat the bed . I was just enjoying hearing the storm roll in over Hawarden, as I was trying to get some sleep. So I decided to have a peek out of the window, some lovely lightning moving in. Gave it a little bit and lay down, peaked up out the window and all hell broke loose about 100ft up the road. Was a massive CG+ strike, that sounded like a bomb exploded. I literally seen it arc over the back over by a neighbours house . I thought right "ok, air is dry it's a one off"! Hell I was wrong! This was followed by 2 more CG+ lightning explosions each getting closer! I even started panicking as I screamed out "this is too close"! There's my little story of this morning . Maybe some more stormage later... Fingers crossed!?

It's looking promising for NW Wales and later further North travelling up to Scotland! Here in Hawarden has, 63% later moving up over 77% chance of storms. Considering last Tuesday was only 43%, and we had one hell of a storm... I'm really hopeful, for Tuesday! I just wish I could read weather charts properly, the raw data, sounding etc and plot my own forecasts!

I use windy.com in conjunction with radar for looking for webcams. Was watching some awesome webcams yesterday of lightning over in Europe, some good stuff going over that way today too!

Cells firing off around there now SSE in the sea and that cell over Cardiff

I've been watching this form. I also noticed the rain band going NW and Them cells are going SSE

@Nick Wall I'd say they a moving NNE ever so slightly so you'd get them I'd think!?

Just been in the garden and recorded the flashes from over 70 miles away on them cells NNE of Manchester by Braford. I'm in Hawarden

Sky is clear here! But can see the boundary of clouds to my West. Shame I have an obstruct view and at a lower level!

Just seen some lightening over the West from Hawarden. Weird stuff O_0 Must the cell over in Stoke!

Looks like scuddy stuff und a nice wall cloud... I must say!

18 c here. But boiling inside! Had that nice brush with that cell from Wrexham, which then turned into a beast as it moved up the Pennines. So not too bad I guess...

@James175 They're mammatus clouds by the looks. And usually are seen after a storm, but can be also can be seen under an anvil/storm cloud!

Recorded some footage, it made a slight turn East. So caught the left edge! NO lightening caught tho either, was more over Chester. Enjoy! Liverpool and Merseyside :D. Will post after my foods.

That line of cells are startedd popping off NNW of Hereford another is forming

Yea watching that way now. not far away

Cells firing off with lightening In Wales heading my way. Also France and the channel.

A nice pano for you guys!

@Dangerous55019 They sure are I'm keeping my eyes out in Hawarden at the moment. It's going NNW'ish at the moment. I can see a pretty decent amount off cumulus already gathering that way.

Here was a treat! Storm cell from Wrexham hit first very dry, hardly any rain. Sat on step and instantly had CC direct above me, heard the buzz and felt the heat. That was my que to head in as was too close with a low base. Needed a change of pants too! lol. Had over a good 2 hours of stormage, with some nice Thunder, CC'S and a few near by CG's
