I'm in Canterbury, currently in middle of thunderstorm, so dark out there that lightning really bright, heavy rain. Doesn't sound that close yet!! House lights have flickered a couple of times. Also heard the distant rumbles between 6.30 and 7.00 this morning. I'm home alone and HATE thunderstorms, ES will be missing this at work and he loves them! Edit: Having just posted this huge fork of lightning with instant thunder, lost my broadband connection at same time.
