Huge crawler right above, not much in the way of thunder though, the detectors don't seem to be picking up any of what I'm seeing in front of me.

Yeah was a good one that. Surprised how much the lightening detectors are missing stuff. That didn't show at all.

Strong gusty wind in Exeter with distant flashing started in the fair distant sky, light rain so far 

[ChannelThunder]

Just checking in from the chase. Having real good fun and the night is still young! Some amazing lightning already tonight. Rain and wind are a problem so photos have been limited.

More lightning now and hearing a few louder rumbles

[LightningLover]

Oh my goodness… Just saw an incredible orange crawler over the mid channel… Easily the best individual lightning flash I’ve seen since June 2019. Goosebumps!!

Hoping that nuisance residual cloud clears for you southerners. Second bout of electrical activity now established over Cherbourg and Channel Islands. Wish them storms had the same amount of energy that one East of Limoges has though!! Good grief that’s going mental. 

I've always said the Clermont Ferrand area was the ideal place to live in France!

Hearing it in bexhill

So the anvil crawlers are out.  Does that signal the end of round 1?  I'm on the A21 and I'm going on a theta W hunch

[OddSpot]

[Electricmumma]

Okay mini me says galley hill so galley hill it is

[LightningLover]

These crawlers are highlights of this season so far in my opinion… Nothing quite like them!
