Plenty of wet stuff here in Belper too - nothing in the way of theatrics yet though.

I saw the lanterns too from here in Matlock - there must have been 7 or 8 visible in the sky at one point. There was one that had crashed to the ground in Cromford as I drove through They seemed to have been let off towards the South from where I was looking. You're right though, it was eerie over here too - distant lightning going off to the east and then several fiery lights floating across the sky!

Hi all, first time poster here. I live up near Matlock in the Derbyshire Dales - last night between about 10pm and 11.30pm we had some incredible lightning off towards the east (towards Nottingham - which would tally) and some very distant rumbles of thunder. The storm itself missed us though and we didn't have any rain, or even any loud rumbles. I had a drive out for half an hour to get a closer look at the lightning and it looked amazing over Nottingham! This morning the ground is wet and it seems like we may have had a storm around 8am looking at some of the charts - I must have slept right through it
