Might venture out for this one, that first storm being about 30 miles west of SE Essex was/is very impressive on the lightning front, as others have said the one further NE towards Chelmsford is flashing away now as well and should be a closer hit!

 

Are you chasing Paul?

Nah just watching this one, its bloody freezing!

Impressive turbulent Skies underneath with Mammatus some really nice CGs to the west.

Might try to get the whole cloud top lighting up with its a bit further away south seems it has a clean back edge

Dying off now by the looks of it. Got to Dorking and saw some really good distant flashes but it's just too far for me this one.

any idea if there is more to come?

Seen more forked lightning in the last 20 mins than I have in years and all out of the blue. Weird old weather world. Cracking stuff, literally!

Just spent an hour down at the seafront here watching the lightning out in The Channel. It doesn't seem to want to make the crossing though. Sounds like folk inland are having a good show, some superb photo's here tonight, well done and thanks for sharing them.

Another one. No fork seen though. Looking East this time, it scored a direct hit on me.

Storm pretty much gone now. If that's it for 2017, then what a way to end the season, incredible couple of hours, certainly will live long in my memory for the closest strike I've ever experienced. 

All in all, that's 12 or 13 thunder days for this season, which is an upgrade on last year for sure, had some pretty good storms in that time as well. 

Here's to an even better 2018 for us all. 

Good night all, and thank you to the Weather Gods. What a way to end summer.
