  1. I was the poster on the other forum which the OP mentions in the first post and I can confirm that I did indeed see lightning located somewhere near Eindhoven, around 150 miles away from our location near Stowmarket in Suffolk. if anyone has access to historic sferic data, I think I remember the date as Friday August 21st, 2009 and the time was around 2330 BST. We were staying in a cottage in a small village and walking back from a pub in the next village along a deserted country lane. There was near zero light pollution and the sky in our area was crystal clear so conditions were perfect for seeing distant storms. I looked up the location later and the closest storms were over Eastern Holland. The flashes were fairly faint but there was no doubt they were lightning.
  2. I was a student in Birmingham at the time and we were at a house party all night before dossing down on sofas etc. it was a warm balmy night but I do remember some big storms arriving in the early hours. The following day was cooler but quite dull and muggy before sunnier and fresher conditions moved in two days later.
  3. Here in Leicester I remember the following biggies: 4th June 1982 - massive storm from around 7pm until well after 10pm 18th August, 1996 - shotgun blast of thunder around 9pm followed by an hour of the most intense rainfall I have ever seen. 3ft floods in the street. 28th June, 2012 - lunchtime, barrage of the loudest thunder I have heard, followed by an intense storm and what appeared to be a tornado going through my garden. Similar to storms I have seen in Florida and videos from Kansas. 2019 was the worst - absolutely zero activity wherever I was.
