I have been watching this line form from Gloucester and now stretches down towards SE London.

Wow where did that come from.  Full on storm with biblical rainfall out of nowhere.  I actually took a pic of the sky when leaving my gym 30 mins ago as I though the clouds looked a bit moody, and that has turned into a huge storm right overhead.  Never seen anything like it before.  Crashing thunder, really lose lightening.

Blitzortung is performing abysmally. I’ve seen about a dozen flashes and blitzortung is indicating one.

I can’t see the lightning! 

Look at the top of the primary updraft (furthest west). The secondary updraft looks for impressive actually but not seen any lightning from that yet

Visible (but slow) rotation going on in the cell over London, background cloud base is moving right to left, foreground is moving left to right!

It's been a worrying week for Blitz and LMs, consistently failing to pick up more than half of the lightning strikes. 

The cells that developed near me over Basingstoke on both Thursday and Friday were CONSTANTLY rumbling, yet the amount of sferics picked up was far too low considering the amount of IC lightning that would have been needed for that level of thunder.

Think the second southerly cell has fully had it now. Can see more CBs behind it on the satellite though I think

I’m pretty certain now that blitzortung doesn’t ‘get’ elevated strikes, but a lot of the other radars do. This is actually a boon for us chasers and remote observers, as you can combine these two sets of data to see how a storm is performing

The electrified part is obscured from my angle by the next updraft which looks much more impressive than the initial one - but no sparks. This despite a robust inflow of turkey towers and the like - odd - maybe it’s still slightly too Far East if of the NSC (or “No Storms Club”) parallel.
