Wow!! Fork lightning

Rain coming in all directions - good test for my CCTV camera's waterproofness! Getting proper windy and I can hear the rain on the conservatory roof from the other side of the house.

 

Still no thunder... the proper dark reds on the radar might miss me

[tinybill]

[SteveCoops]

And done. I knew it'd split apart and the worst would miss me

[Wyre]

Just started raining by the river in Gillingham.  I would love a good storm!

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Squall fragmented slighty here as it arrived, but have seen three flashes, one of which was close enough to show what appeared to be a pink CG bolt, with an accompanying crash of thunder.  Rain still fairly heavy and wind gusty as I type.

All too brief but at its peak reminded me me of being in Typhoon Morakot in Taiwan...

Funny you should say that.........I likened it to a Derecho, it really was intense

[yamkin]

More to come?

 

Oh yes, more to come during Sunday into Monday with much colder conditions

[Storme]

Just about over here too!

[Ruthie]

And now it's as if nothing ever happened!! Fox has just turned up, wet, looked at me as if to say, what was that noise earlier?

[Floatylight]

Quite scary now.

Hail lightning,thunder.now on my phone as virgins gone down. Tele and Internet

[suffolkboy_]

Better than any lightning I saw all last summer! Very strong squall as well! Gust of 64mph here. 

[Wyre]

Thunder lightning and wind enough to rattle the letterboxes..oh and there comes the hail!

 

ETS:  Stuck my head out the door and the extremely gusty wind smells salty!  I know we are by the salt river but in the 16 years I have lived in this house I have never had that before!

Nice flashes of lightning and huge raindrops have made me run from the station the pub.

Could need 4 pints of London Pride to recover.
