i'm getting 1/4 inch grouping with my air rifle at 40m in twilight, i've found my lost wallet with all its contents and (according to radar and Blitzortung) it looks like some cracking storms are coming my way... a good night is on the way...

And to think I'll be nr Horsham on Sunday - four days late

Can see that storm out toward Belgium from me. Beautiful sky tonight.

Photos taken looking South East about 9.30.

Do you ever just come across a bunch of dead fish floating about after a strike?

Suddenly got a downpour lol

[Climate_Eyes]

Lightning now seen south West of my location. Regular thunder, first spots of rain. 

[Norfolk Sheep]

People in Lowestoft/Yarmouth etc should get a decent light show in a while. I'm just putting my camera etc back in its box until the next non-next time

Thunder heard on the Bognor Regis cam

Portsmouth cam....annoying how this cam keeps moving, but better than nothing, with the best view when it goes to the Spinnaker Tower

Looking at the radar it looks like you took a direct hit. Radar shows rain rates of 150mm/hr over Gosport. Any hail?

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Bognor just disappeared beneath strikes on lightningmaps!

I can see a tower!....can just make it out in the twilight!.....it's the water tower on the RAF base 

I am jesting.....a couple of blurry pics looking south, anvil tops from the storms near southampton/portsmouth

[Stormyking]

I'm so glad I stayed on the island! Very decent storm here, thunder and lightning has been right overhead!

[Buckster]

looks like London to have quite a show in next hour or two

 

just well timed for it getting dark 

[Hodgheg]

Cell well in land is showing lightning. Doesn't look much on the net weather radar though.
