What a morning that was well between 10 am and 2pm!
Had thunderstorms go off between all that time, had about 5 of them pass over.
Storm number 1: was a cracking storm, it had constant thunder and lightning for about 45 mins to an hour, it actually produces hail and some amazing CG'S, thunder was quality!
Storm number 2: This wasn't a direct hit but it did clip us, we had some loud thunder and some pretty awsome lightning, thunder and lightning was ever 10-20 seconds, some fairly close strikes, it also let out 3 positive strike and sounds pretty damn amazing
Storm number 3: This storm actually developed over the IOW it self, it developed of the main thunderstorm that was already approching us, this little fella produce some very close CG' right on top of us the thunder was very loud indeed and shook the place!
Storm Number 4: This was the longest lasting storm and probably the best one, we could here this one rumbling away miles away getting closer and closer, as it was getting closer the thunder was like every 5-10 seonds, this produced many multiple CG'S one of the strikes produced 5 strikes in 1 :o, the lightning and thunder was getting louder and louder, when it got between Ventnor downs, along Sandown bay to culver where I was, we had witnessed some amazing CG'S, most of them multiple strikes, the thunder was car shakers and very cool and deep! it did lose some of its intensity as it went by us, and wasn't at frequent but was still letting out the odd CG every and then This storm lasted a good hour or so.
Storm number 5: This one didn't quite hit us but it clipped the far east of the IOW by bembridge, this one was qutie a good one, the lightning was rather quite frequent, ever 7-10 seconds and the thunder was constant. This still produced some heavy rain and the CG's was quite amazing but missed a load of them.
So all in all it was a very pleasant suprised considering we wasn't to have anything according to all charts and the Met office, and ended up proving them all wrong just goes to show you never know with the weather, always expect the unexpected, this actually boosts my thunderstorm count upto 14/15 i think but about 11th day of thunder I am one happy person after last nights depressingness
Good luck to everyone else too and enjoy the storms
