[doctor32]

can hear very faint rumbles of thunder from that storm moving slightly northeast in our direction. very warm and close outside

[Summer Sun]

The storm over Skipton earlier is moving north doesn't look like hitting Darlo but Barnard Castle is in the firing line consett may get it as well

 

[Summer Sun]

Some rumbles of thunder to my west as the storm moves up

[Boro Snow]

Constant rumbles very dark in darlo

[ballybabe21]

Same in Aycliffe, I'm not usually scared of storms but this one is very menacing!

[Summer Sun]

Constant rumbles very dark in darlo

 

Yeah looks like it will miss us though radar is keeping the rain out west

[Summer Sun]

Bishop and Shildon look like they've got the storm missed darlo by around 7 miles

Hearing the first few rumbles from that storm now, Looks like its going to hit Newcastle dead on

[topsweep1506]

Got a huge anvil with mammatus over Newcastle at the minute goin really dark to

[Summer Sun]

Worst of the storm just leaving Bishop, Newcastle is in line for a direct hit

 

Seems to have taken more of a north easterly track once it passed Darlington

A Supercell, according to TORRO

[topsweep1506]

Worst seems to be over west end of Newcastle torrential rain and plenty CG's here in the east end

[doctor32]

Had alot of lightning from that storm here, alot cloud based. Reports of huge hail not far from me and stanley area

[Nice Ice Babe]

I am in Gateshead and was seriously worried about the size of the hail about 2cm across.  The lightning wasn't as dramatic as earlier.  Will try and upload any good images.

Why anyone would wish to be under a big storm is just plain mad to me. Perfectly summed up by tonight's supercell as it tore through Sacriston.

 

Huge hailstones, cars damaged, lights smashed, houses damaged and undoubtedly thousands of pounds of insurance damage to pay out, which we all have to pay for. Not to mention the damage done to wildlife.

 

Be careful what you wish for.

This was the gust front over Newcastle as the storm approached, looked awesome

Seems to have missed Washington by just a few miles then. Saw a few flashes of lightening out your way though.

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Those storms to the South West need to be watched, they look on course to hit some of us again!

I'm considering driving out west if they look like missing here. Just hope they hold it together as they make their way over the Pennines.

 

That earlier storm was impressive, large hail by UK standards. Brought back memories of chasing in the USA hearing the noise of them thumping the car roofs. No damage done though.

[Cloud 10]

A nightime lightning display would be the perfect end to the day.

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Flashes and thunder to my south east! That storm over Teesside appeared from nowhere!

That must be a good sign for the other approaching storms, still loads of energy to work with

Think I might head out soon for a good viewpoint and try to get some photos. 

[Boro Snow]

Constant flashes to my west and rumbles of thunder

[Nice Ice Babe]

These are what came down in the last one. I didn't know whether to film, get the cat in or fix a G&T.

I can hear distant thunder again. Would that huge lump over the north west be coming our way already?

[Andy_]

Thunder and lightning out of nowhere here!

[NorthEastSnow]

Then flashes out towards the west are spectacular. Are they due to hit here. Looks like heat lighterning it's that consistent.
