Happy that we've managed to break the "import drought".

Just watching the distant lightning out of my window. Not as active as some other storms, but still a good little (if distant) show. The main focus appears to be moving away from me now, enjoy, London!

[MartinD]

Are there any good live streaming webcams in London? I'm searching now....

Just seen a nice big strike on the Hastings stream. Thanks for the link, William. Hoping for some tonight! There was an amazing anvil to the east earlier that looked quite promising but it's gone now.

No risk at all apparently.. :O

Shhh, sweep it under the carpet. Let's pretend there are no storms occurring at all...

That 'thing' floating up the North Sea now is a monster!

Flashing every ten seconds to my south now! 

I'd tread careful if I was you, the neighbours will have a injunction out on you if you keep on with that, not to mention a visit from the old bill 

[Hodgheg]

Deep rumbles. Feeling very eerie 

[titchjuicy]

Hearing regular rumbles now.

[Windblade]

Just saw two massive flashes of IC from the approaching cell to the southwest and very distant thunder. Come on!

[William Grimsley]

Can see some cells have developed over Dorset, will the SW join the action? Seems like people further west than the highest risk area have actually been hit the worst so far!

[Harry]

Not entirely sure this storm approaching me is completely elevated....alarmed by the green tinge to some of the Lightning (hail!!??) and the lightning and thunder growing really quite frequent now!!

[Windblade]

Another huge flash in the distance and another distant rumble.

Part of Kent apparently 

You mean Channel isles obviously!!!!

[Mesoscale]

Can see lightning very faintly far towards the south of me probably over South/SE London. 

[Windblade]

And again!

[MartinD]

Worth while taking a look at this webcam in central London, you can see the storms approaching from the south and a few nice flashes...

Guys a great webcam to view it in London is the tower bridge webcam here http://www.visitlondon.com/discover-london/tower-bridge-webcam#hsDPjRMvWKZjKjW2.97. Hope it goes crazy tonight!

Starting to become an impressive event now. Basically a conveyor belt from northern Portugal to the S North Sea. Winds at 500hpa are set to have a more southerly component to them too very slightly as we go on through the night, so favouring us even more. 

Happy days!

Yeah, I saw that green/blue tinge too. Never seen that with IC before. Not sure what to make of it. Still some way off but getting closer.
