After our 5 hour extravaganza last night it’s all quiet here.

Bloody hell just had a massive CG out of nowhere, car alarms are going off!
Maybe that’s the one we heard over here. Was a good distance away but wow! Very bright flash for daytime and extremely loud thunder.

Scary sounding b Thunder from this as it approaches
In Ainsdale we saw a very bright flash and 10 seconds later incredibly loud booming thunder. Must have been frightening if you were close to it!

Getting closer......more frequent, much brighter elevated lightning. We’ve had light to moderate fat raindrops for the last 2 hours.
After our non stop 5 hour pyrotechnics on Monday I’m happy if this is all we get!
