I only experienced one long rumble of thunder just after 6 pm here and saw no lightning at all, but it aint half rained since then.

At 6.45pm we had an absolutley insane downpour of rain lasting for 2 minutes. One huge lightning fork hit a house about 5 miles to the south of my location (AS ALWAYS) followed by a loud boom of thunder. That was the only lightning\thunder that i saw or heard.

Yeah...it's strange because places without power appear quite random. I.e. there is an area of road that comes out of Durham City that is completely without power but is only about a few hundred yards long, and everywhere else is fine.
