Thunderstorm in Burnley according to a phone call.

The Burnley storm is likely the one that I just experienced as it has moved out that way now.

Torrential rain turned the road in to a river and I personally saw a few flashes including one very nice CG.

It produced a somewhat spectacular rainbow as it moved away as well.

I have a few pictures of the cloud as it moved away and a couple of the rainbow it produced also, I will post them up later.

I had a feeling there might be storms today when I got to work and saw the convection this morning.
