I was so happy thought I heard thunder, nope... just a train going by

i've been watching distant flashes from that which went through the Bristol Channel, under clear starry skies.

It's surreal, but it feels too darn warm

Standing in a shelter  in the rain wondering how long it’ll last before I can walk home, watching lightning to my east that occasionally throws up something spectacular.

Whatever happens, it'll never head over NW Surrey. We seem to have some form of shield around us everytime, come snow or thunderstorms o_O

You'll be familiar with the Reigate Local High Pressure system, then? 24/7, 365 days a year.

Can you please have a word with the Bexhill Sailing Club?  This is what their webcam shows.

What use is that to anyone? It's the most useless webcam on the planet.

Yeah, me too,m. The girls seem to have hit some sort of madness barrier, I can’t get them to come out of the rain; and they are giggling like loonies.
