Saw some lightning towards the west and south west kent and kept on trying to take a photo having no luck at all however i didn't give up. As the storm got closer i got this shot
I decided to go out in the fields ( madness ) with hardly any light pollution , lightning was getting closer and closer. There was a bright flash that was SO strong it blinded me and my dad , i had to close my eyes and couldn't see for a few secs. Right after that an almighty bang and all the power went out , it was right above us.
Next stop was towards the coast but the rain just got too intense and decided to head back home. On the way back more lightning and a quick stop on the roadside was needed.. The lightning was very intense again.
