Big thunderstorm in the City of London.

Thanks Matty007My Mum had a phobia of storms also and that's how she overcome it. You've just got the realise that indoors it can do no harm and even outdoors the chances am minimal of it hitting you. I know it's tough, but exposure to a phobia is the best way to overcome it so you're doing the right thing.

Well. Cutting the long story short....... Was out walking in a storm & lightning hit the ground in front of me, making a hole the size of a Table tennis ball!!If I am feeling brave enough, I can watch from the back door but most of the time I hide away in the corner & turn all electrical things off. Am trying to get over this fear by watching storms as much as I can. Sorry if off topic everyone.Moore1, I have an irrational fear of Lightning/thunder, but do love it as well, I cannot recall a bad experience from childhood, but I suppose I could have had one and have somehow blocked the memory out.......?What was you bad experience, if you don't mind me asking??

Am in Corringham. Has been going for the past half an hour & rain is really bad - thunderbolt just now. How I hate thunderstorms - bad experience with one when I was younger.Whereabouts in Thurrock are you? I'm in South Ockendon. getting going nicely here I think
-
Torrential rain & lights keep flashing on & off - time to get candles out! Getting really really humid now.

Rumbles of thunder and big flashes of lightning over Basildon/ Corringham. It doesn't look like it is moving at all. Might be a big one. No rain as yet.

Woken up at 03.30 to a huge thunderstorm, and the next one is incoming. And I don't like them. Wow bright flash & shotgun thunder. Sky to the front of the house dark and horrible, but at the back the sky is a vivid red colour. Strange. And now someone's house/car alarm has been set off! Fun day ahead!
-
Wow, that clap was directly overhead & made the whole house shudder. Sounded like canon fire! And now my head is really banging - always get bad headache when it's stormy!
-
Yay, first big rumble of thunder, and heavy rain.
-
Getting Darker in the City of London again, and rain starting too.
We now have blue sky and even a bit of sunshine......how quickly it changes.
-
How disappointing, 3 rumbles and now the sun has come out again
-
Hey hey, first rumbling of a thunderstorm. Hope everyone has a storm too. Fingers crossed for you all.
-
We had a couple of rumbles of Thunder on Saturday - which was totally unexpected.
Can anyone tell me if it is going to be ok by the weekend - 11th especially, as my brother gets married! Hoping for a lovely day for The Big Day!
Many Thanks

Blizzard here in the City of London - Can't see Canary Wharf from my window as all I can see is snow. The flakes are getting bigger and it's getting darker too.

Had a thunderstorm about 20 minutes ago, as fast as it came through it disappeared. Bright sunshine now.
