Ramsgate cell showing just how quickly things can get going, seemingly out of nowhere!

I don't think so. Phones are usually better for distant stuff anyway.

 *Stormforce~beka* They're moving west fairly rapidly

New cell forming pushes closer to me. All it needs is one more feel to the north and I think I'd get a direct hit.

Flashes visible from North Essex now.

Ev (evaluative) normally refers to the type of metering on SLR type cameras.

[Thunderspotter]

RIght, I've got a plan (sort of).

I know I keep saying it but good luck to everyone tonight. Really hope to see some great footage and stuff tomorrow.

I've got the curtains open and an alarm set for just in case. But I need to catch up on some sort of sleep now.
Have fun everyone! It's been great here watching and predicting with you all. If I do get woken up by a storm I'll be sure to film it and share it when I get the chance.

This ramsgate storm came out of nowhere so strange 

[Thunders]

 Summer tyre I found AV if that’s so,etching to do with it

[Summer tyre]

There is some proper rain heading for Eastbourne and Seaford - it's coming across from the southeast. Team Bexhill will just get the edge of it.
