Morning all. I've not ploughed through the pages of this thread since I logged-out last night. Last night was quiet here until 11.30. Heavy rain, thunder and flashes of lightning for around 1/2 an hour. Then, another few fairly large bangs and flashes spread at around 5-10 minute intervals - very strange. No rain in those. Now, dark clouds have gathered again and thunder rumbling around as I type - getting louder too.
