Storm Reports - Sunday 24th October 2004

[Tim B]

I arrived back in Darwen about half an hour ago, to have a massive rain storm move in with lightning bolts arcing across the sky!

Woo hoo!

Everyone post your reports here if you have any.

[Adi F]

I have a rather large storm over Portsmouth at this time with loads of thunder

[Fraggle]

Second heavy rainfall of the afternoon here in Manchester, but just had the first couple of flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder. I missed the big lightning show on Thursday, so this is a bit of compensation. 3 flashes in the last minute or so.

[Cableguy]

absolute deluge falling here at the moment, 2 lightning strikes seen so far :shock:

[Fraggle]

Upto about 10 lightning strikes now, the storm is passing almost overhead me in a north-easterly-ish direction. The advantage of living in a giant toblerone-shaped building (a bit swiss chalet-like!) is that I can look up and see above me through the sloping roof. The downside is that all the rain hits the windows so it's very noisy! Another couple of flashes, and the rain is getting heavier.

I dunno dodger. but I can see it from here.... major storm i'm getting flashes in the distance about 1 every 3-5 minutes.

[dodge]

Yes, thunder, calmed down a bit, but just now another CG Strike and rumbles of thunder, raining again heavy. Probably had about 10-12 Thunderstrikes in last 30 mins. :shock: really should switch off my PC.

[Global Warning]

Just had some wind,rain with some flashes of lightening. Two rumbles in total!!!

Wow....

[dodge]

I think this has been the culprit. Seemed to bubble up from nowhere. :-o

[fabrinelli]

VERY heavy rain in Hereford with average thunder but very good lightning. Huge fork lightning, with, at time multiple strikes across the sky, was also very colorful to.

[Tim B]

Thats what it was like up here before.

I got a couple of pictures of some huge mammatus as it moved over head, i may post them up in a bit.

[ThunderLover]

massive thunderstorm here! huge bolts of lightening!! heading n-e i think, so newcastle way!! really loud thunder aswell...not very frequent tho!

[rob-lancs]

Getting thunder here, nothing too special though. Mainly thunderless, not surprising with all the rain I've had this evening.

[Paul Sherman]

Have just driven through a massive Thunderstorm which is heading towards Suffolk, the roads around Upminster were flooded and was aquaplaning at one point, Huge Bolts of Blue Lightning lit up the sky which also put me off
