Hurricane Ophelia
Thunderstruck replied to Jo Farrow's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
Wind just suddenly picked up as well. I know it's nowhere near as bad as what's going on in Ireland and Western UK, but it's still something. -

Sky is now yellow again, but I can see the edge of the main bank of cloud. -

Sky now moving back to a normal late afternoon grey. Never seen the sky change so much in such a short period of time. -

This is the weirdest sky I have ever seen. The sun has gone and there's now a sort of yellowish hue. Eerie... -

Sky looks apocalyptic here. Very creepy...! -

Stay safe everyone who is in the path, Ophelia's not messing around. From a selfish point of view, I'm glad it's not further east! -

Think that's it for the day now. Didn't take a direct hit thunder wise, but had some biblical rain, and also some deep, distant rumbles as well. That being said, it would be wrong of me to complain about it all being distant, it has been a great 2017, and I know others haven't been quite so lucky. -

Appears to be moving more East than towards me, but still putting out regular deep rumbles as well as what looks to be possibly a shelf cloud? Too dark for a photo though. -

Another cell appeared to my NW that's now rumbling away every so often -

It's absolutely torrential out there. Hopefully it clears before I get off! Lightning seems to have slowed down though... Edit: Passed over much quicker than I thought. Didn't see any more lightning but the rain was immense. Some nice CB towers off to the north now though -

On the bus home from school about to drive into a thunderstorm. Seen 2 distant flashes so far. Hope I get home before the rain! -

Now that is impressive, especially bearing in mind the storms in this area weren't the strongest we've ever had today. -

Rain clearing out now. Only one flash and rumble in the end, but better than nothing. Bit surprising to be fair, I know it was forecast, but it really hasn't felt or looked stormy here at all today. Edit: Not finished yet. Just had a nice crack of thunder. Didn't see a flash though. -

Just had a very short, very heavy shower but still nothing seen or heard Edit: Just heard a reasonably close rumble! -

If only that storm to my north was a little bit further south. Keeping my ears peeled for any distant rumbles, but I might just be out of range -

That storm near Diss is quite a potent little guy by the looks of it. Down hear, it looks like a smaller storm over Brentwood way will just skirt to my north. -

Storm pretty much gone now. If that's it for 2017, then what a way to end the season, incredible couple of hours, certainly will live long in my memory for the closest strike I've ever experienced. All in all, that's 12 or 13 thunder days for this season, which is an upgrade on last year for sure, had some pretty good storms in that time as well. Here's to an even better 2018 for us all. Good night all, and thank you to the Weather Gods. What a way to end summer. -
