I think this newspaper has taken things a little too far:

Surprised at the lack of sferics so far on the NW radar/detector, especially considering there have been reports of thunder.
Some massive booms and continuous what only can be described as firework crackling like noises never appeared last night either. Saying that I saw no flashes, very strange. Unless they Fred Dibnah'd Didcot Power Station last night, I'd assumed it was storm related.
-
Torrential downpour here in South Oxfordshire
-
The other method of finding one's height these days is through the use of a GPS (SatNav) - most of the time these are fairly accurate but there have been times when driving a car in coastal regions I have felt the need to have a periscope fitted because SatNav indicated I was driving below sea level!
Not as confusing as calculating QFE as a higher pressure than QNH in the Caspian Sea for landing choppers due to the local Baltic Datum being approximately 28m higher than the current water level of the Caspian.

Antwerpen, Belgium Live cam.
Now that is what you call a storm, shame there is no sound.
-
I'm sure it must be thunder unless a fireworks factory is on fire in the middle of the fields around me (South East Oxfordshire)
Loud boom like noises I've never heard in any thunderstorm before, explosion like, can't see any flashes. Then inbetween continuous crackles of thunder like fireworks.
Nothing on the met office data and the rain band has almost passed to the north, very surprising.
-
Large cell to my north right now and i can see 2 more approaching from the south...
Sferics from this storm don't seem to be being reported by the metoffice system (assuming you are in Chatham, Kent)
-
Cells developing east of here, sky looks really potent atm.
Development of a few cells in Yorkshire, Derbyshire showing quite clearly on the 1800 and 1815 radars. Worth keeping an eye on further development in this region.
-
Oh big rumblings in MK, very deep thunder. It's back building
Will let you know if kicks off on its western end then
-
The storm brewing around the MK/Bedford region is moving in rather random way (east to west) , however then it looks to be rotating very stormy feeling outside and very warm.
Summer Sun, reduction in intensity to be expected, theoretically should increase again on landfall.
Also look like that line of heavy rain near Milton Keynes is growing and extending towards the line extending from the main area of rain over Oxfordshire and into Wiltshire.
Rain continues in South Oxfordshire with increased winds at times gusty,
That band has stretched to the main rain area over the SW and with confirmed sferics in the last 15 minutes. First thunderstorm of the evening as the channel stuff not quite arrived yet?

Rain now reached South Oxfordshire,
-
Think that is all for here, rain radar indicating heavy downpours to the north in Oxford extending in a line up towards Banbury, the northern part of this being where the thunder is at.
-
Oxford stormy capital of England tonight it seems
Potential for another twister in Bicester?
-
Rumbles of thunder again increasing in SW Oxfordshire with forks of lightning to the west (cannot confirm whether IC or CG). Many 'thunderflies' congregating above the hedges and flocks of birds hurriedly moving east

6.30 forecast
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0379yvl/BBC_News_at_Six_22_07_2013/
Fast forward to 27:00
-
Presumably this is the 6pm forecast - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23361845
Few rumbles of thunder and a shower in South-West Oxfordshire about 10 minutes ago. Opened up all the windows to let some cooler air in.
-
Snow reported at Blackpool Airport which is always a good sign for the north west.
-
Isolated cells built into a large line stretching from Barrow down to Nottingham. Had to switch to terrestrial tv signals it was that bad in Burnley. Should make Granada Reports interesting, Fred'll be wet through.
-
Torrential Rain and Thunderstorm in Burnley, isolated cells now built into a line heading south
-
Thenorthernecho are saying it was a supercell which hit Newcastle, not sure if this is BS or true though. I can still hear the thunder rumbling in the distance, 3 hours after it all started.
Satellite imagery and that video of the tornado suggests the storm that went through Central England was a supercell. There was a small cell that went through the N/E area around 2-3pm but what is going through now, this band of rain/storms is a trough.

Another few interesting videos

i live about 20mins from sleaford, and my daughters friend lives there, she said it was the worst storm she'd ever seen, rotating quite severe

Lincolnshire is like tornado alley at the moment
-
Looks like the same areas as last Friday have been flooded again:
Alza - this system is basically moving north east over the erm north east so it's not going to stop until it passes through, replay the last few hours to see what I mean.
