The weather is so cruel isnt it lol   Last really decent storm and tornado no less I was on hol in Vegas.   http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6217514.stm

The storm off the coast has semi-karked it. Quelle surprise, must be all the fog and low cloud. That stuff is a killer....

Flashes getting a lot brighter to my East/Northeast

[ChannelThunder]

So close but so far with that storm to the north of Reading! Wishing I jumped in the car an hour ago instead of getting ready for bed.

Rather grainy effort to capture the cell that was east of us in the channel and then has made its way over, lots of flashes, not much thunder. Mostly lightning in cloud however some bolts I seem to have caught on camera, although far away... and I am out of practice with lightning photography at the moment!

[Southern Storm]

Lightning here in Christchurch, but I have know idea where it's coming from?

Maidenhead here,

I've never known anything like it.

Multiple flashes, sometimes 3+ per second.

Constant and I mean constant thunder now for about 30 minutes.

Can see flashes to the north coming from the cell near Salisbury 

[Ben Sainsbury]

Oh my the temptation to shoot down the M4, but I just know it'll die before I get anywhere near.

I'm well to the west, so I have these fireworks for some time?

Wow! So bright and almost constant!

I would say so, not seen a single CG.

[Paul R]

Lots of lightning visible from Basingstoke coming from the Reading cell. Hearing very faint rumbles now. Can also see (I think) flashes directly off to the east, not sure of that though, but these flashes are very bright.

I think the Lyndhurst one was a false strike but there’s quite a bit over Salisbury which I can see from here.
