Definitely a Kent clipper. Further inland than usual though so will keep an ear out. Not sure if I just heard a rumble or not. If so, it was a very long way off.

[slb97]

A fair few lightning flashes and just had loud thunder here, just when I was thinking of going to sleep!

[Milocation]

I'm off upstairs to see if i can see anything, good night all of you. Hope you all get something!

[TropicThunder]

Infrequent but stunning lightning, flickering for several seconds at a time.  Shame it's so sporadic but at least we've had something.

[Mapantz]

How can it be a Kent Clipper when we've had a half decent thunder & lightning show, here in Dorset?

[LeeRoyxD]

6/10 so far in Seaford this storm.. feels like its coming more inland

[Luke Best]

Friday night might have been one hell of a light show.

 

But tonight - the thunder, whilst infrequent, is incredibly loud!

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Geeeze I just nearly peed myself! Massive crack and flash bang over head!!

[Thunderstruck]

That was definitely a distant rumble...

[anything-but]

This one was bloody bright!

 

[Milocation]

From what i can make out it is moving inland! Splitting into two...

[LeeRoyxD]

Amazing Anvil Crawlers!

Is it worth staying up a bit longer? Pfft. The French can go and do one; we'll just have a load of clag and murk come the morning....

Dear God! Areas from.Dorset to Kent have had a pretty decent lightning display since 10pm.Almighty crash of thunder as I type.

Not a thunderstorm classic, decent, and into our third hour now.

Look mate real unstable mass has only just reached coastal areas and yet to interact further inland. Give it half hour and I think you'll be surprised..

Not surprised at all that it's turned into yet another boring Kent clipper. Chucking it down here though which is relaxing to listen to  from my bed and I won't have to water the allotment tomorrow.

My thoughts exactly! Should call it a night but it's fun waiting to see if there's any more.

[TJS1998Tom]

Looks like they're also beginning to head more in land

Are you actually on the clifftop? If you are, I bet the lightning is pretty impressive

[Mapantz]

I guess it could be perceived as a Kent Clipper if viewed from 500 miles above Earth?

No but I bet it would be good down there.
