[Mcconnor8]

Huge strike right in front of my eyes, pretty close, one of the best I've ever seen. The lightning rate from this storm is incredible.

 Thunders hope not

[Sam jackson88]

new load of lighting off to the left in last 5 mins its still growing in strength. GET IN THERE

[Mapantz]

The latest radar frame shows quite the west movement now

[Thunders]

It hadn't stopped loghnong since about 10 and I got blinded for a couple of minutes 2 times. Little worried that a house has been hit as it sounded like it was outside. This is a mental storm for may, not out of place in America 

[Metwatch]

The insanity continues, you can hear this guy's excitement as well, which would also be me if if I was there. "the best thing i've seen in my life" he's saying right now.

[Thunders]

Also I'm recording it and getting photos so u can see strike rate etc 

[Harry's House]

Faint distant thunder to W or WSW. I think the breeze has drowned out some of the thunder considering the frequency and brightness of the lightning. Still no rain here yet.

[This Moody Sky]

Just awoken to a huge strike. Thought there'd be some activity on here. Hi everyone

[Southern Storm]

I'm see a decent amount of lightning to me east and a big flash just now

 

[This Moody Sky]

Certainly wasn't expecting to be getting any activity here in North Essex.

[R Alto]

Keeping my eye on that Little cell just South of Isle of Wight.

[TJS1998Tom]

Seems to be taking its time getting past the channel

[Neilsouth]

 The MCS!

[Eagle Eye]

Incredible storm. Lightning every second. It's a real shame that it's hidden. 

[viking_smb]

 Eagle Eye

What is the thunder like?

Im half asleep at no

So on and off forum and radar

[Thunders]

I think that was the town getting hit

[Sprites]

 Eagle Eye that north Sea clag?  

Same here I've seen several distant flashes earlier off Essex coast, but it's fully cloudy now.

Elevated so minimal

 Sprites

Nah just hidden by houses here. 

Yeah this is ridiculous. Lightning every second for the last 20 minutes. 

 

[Jamie M]

The best lightning shots I have taken ever

[LeeRoyxD]

[Thunders]

 LeeRoyxD yeah, and it’s may…

[LeeRoyxD]

 Thunders mad

[biddie]

 tomdewey it really was mainly for the south eaat

[Thunders]

I think this hit pretty close, never heard thunder like that before 

was blinded for a good couple of mins after it too. Thunder came on as the flash happened
