Seems too unorganised. In fact, looking at the radar, one bit of it will be.

You seem to get little clusters of strikes in a small area, away from the main band, that get removed quickly. Hard to know if they're genuine.

O M G     600 + strikes per second

I think you ment per minute, if it was 600 per second, I think it would be the end of the world haha

[Hathers]

This has happened a lot over recent years, where massive mcs travel east along the channel and head to Holland/Belgium. It's a shame we never seem to get a direct hit.

It is isn't it :O !!

[Sparkiee storm]

The entire mass of very heavy rain is quite something by itself, the actual storms are incredible.

[Thunderstruck]

Nearest strike 20.6 miles away apparently... Seems a bit close to me

Yup! But still a no show on Blitzortung. There seems to be a lot more going on than is being shown
