Expect Met are updating as just had a yellow through for Saturday

I told him he could lick his finger and test the wind direction.. he said it would fall off., there’s got to be some tool I can fly him with

I was planning on making a human kite out of my girls and @LightningLover

Yeah I’m having a similar issue with the ex husband who thinks it’s going to be easy to drive from a small rural village in east sussex to a seaside location.. around midday..

High tide here in East Sussex 12.38 - seafront properties struggle here with lesser winds backing the tides, so this could be wet and expensive for some.

Wish we were further up country

Hoping for some lightning views across the channel around midnight/1am

Preparing to hit the seafront and try to manifest some lightning ️- let’s hope it’s better than the last time, 4 hours and 2 flashes

That explains why I can’t stand upright, made it to the Victorian shelter that plays music, with our very late lunch. Sea looks amazing

Send some this way

Video won’t upload, so here’s a still

A stunning warm blue skies sunny day today. Hot enough for the sunbathers to be out in their bikinis and for the few brave some sea splashing going on. sweaty and humid inland but sat here on the beach under a groyne the sea breeze makes it perfect. Watching some interesting clouds forming over the sea. 17% storm chance. Hope it develops

Cloud has cleared, temp and humidity has risen

Not my photo but I think this was the strike that scared the living wibble out of us. From reports it struck less than a mile from where we were. @LightningLover

Last night turned out much better than expected. At first it was the same old lightning over the sea job, as the storm moved north it stayed west of us producing some lovely pink lightening, it then slowly shifted north east and casually passed north of us. Following rapidly behind was another cell, yet against producing plenty of nice lightning and some nice rolls of thunder, it followed the first storms path. By the time it departed there was ANOTHER cell out to sea, this time it was approaching from slightly further east, lightning was spaced further apart but boy they were good ones, lots of CG’s. This storm delighted us by not taking the exact same route as the first ones, and stayed on course for a direct hit, and yes it hit. We were caught off guard several times by large lightening strikes close by, pretty sure there was one within half a mile if not closer, we’re talking Postive CG crackle huge explosion and deep floor and shelter vibrating rumbles. Then the rain hit, huge convective drops straight down in sheets, visibility reduced and rivers running down the prom. The storm passed over head heading north east providing some lovely lightening to the north of us as we made our tired yet charged way home.

Wow! Wow! At last it’s actually hitting us for once… though almost literally ️ Think the are recovering… oh wibble .. that one was horrendously close .. so close that I’m now shaking.. and wibbleit so was that one..

You’ll hear us.. I’m sure you probably can hear the manic girls

There’s a lot of nice stuff toward the back of town. Very pink.

We are walking that way as the shelter we headed for was taken. Was thinking a Delaware dome might be cool but not sure if the buildings would be in the way

The girls are coatless. We are heading for the shelter near the car thingy

Raining here but sneaking out for a look as the girls have seen lightening

A few pretty cloudscapes from yesterday evening’s walk along the coast

That’s what he said sorry couldn’t resist

Do not understand how ive got a 43% storm chance here..

I’m fingers crossed for an Indian summer
