I think its starting to go here, we will see in the next hour. I need to sleep but thunderstorms are worth being tired in the morning because they are so rare.

Just got back home...my first night chase experience! It's so much better than day time as the roads aren't as busy. Still a lot to learn though, had a few hairy moments that I wished I hadn't got into. Pics/videos will be uploaded tomorrow.

Powers just come back on after being off for nearly 2 hours. Some quite loud thunder about an hour ago and heavy rain. All calm now.

Just had a positive IC strike from what I can tell, I felt it in my lungs, reminiscent of the wardrobe shakers of the 90s.

I can't understand why the lightning of this storm isn't showing on the radar?!.Possibly because the are Cg strikes.Can anyone help?!.

I think this is the cold front now, steady rain feeling much fresher. Good luck to those  further east, looks like I've missed out again this week.
