Had a shedload a couple of days ago. Could barely see across the road in the downpour. If we could grab some of that there'd be no energy crisis!

Started around 8:40pm here. ( Mid Sussex ) Passed over now and heading North. https://www.lightningmaps.org/ is showing the storm over East Grinstead / Tunbridge Wells now

Love it! Especially when you can see the actual strikes, and not just the flash.

I can confirm it’s over East Grinstead now!

In the south of france staying in a 13e medieval castle and we’re getting absolutely hammered! constant strikes, its an amazing place to be in a lightening storm!

Look at the size of this thing that’s live lightening strikes

Yeah, love it. The more the better.

Love a good storm.

Instantly takes me back to being little and sitting on the deep bay windowsill in my bedroom at night.

It makes me feel alive - sounds odd but when it snows, I feel the same.

Seen some fantastic storms in the Caribbean and in North Africa - we don’t really get the good stuff over here.

I’d love to spend a season chasing storms in the states.

"legit" indeed.

How much did you weigh after that lot went through?

A good storm, but not the best timing. Today is the day of the Kent Test (aka the 11+) which my eldest is sitting - along with about 3/4 of all 10 year olds in Kent. Crashing thunder until long past 10pm wasn’t ideal!

Someone has to say it- it's lightning not lightening.

Legit. Ramp up that spelling.

But lightning doesn't rhyme with frightening.

I love the, the OH hates them.

I'll quite happily stand with the door open waiting for the flash/fork and the ensuing clap of thunder.

We've had some decent lightning and thunder over the last few days, last was around 4pm yesterday in Staffs, big fork lightning pretty much overhead, house shaking with the thunder etc.

I took my 3 year old to the sea front to watch the lightning strike in the distance, was magical
