Notice the storm on me way home from the london night clubs and its still on going as i arrived home.. died down a bit now but getting very dark to the west of me, so just waiting for it to all let rip B)

[Me & angel fiance]

Woke by very heavy rain. Don't know if we had lightning and rumbles with it. Once it stopped though we have had a few rumblies. Getting closer then they stopped. Looks like that was it for a while. All gone quiet now. Maybe time for sleep again. B)

Ok edit that because there had been nothing for a good ten mins then as I mention sleep we get another rumble. Ok Time for sleep (hint hint)

Woken at 5 am by thunder and heavy rain. Lightning lasted for about half an hour and rain has just stopped.

[Rob W]

We have a storm to the south west of us, which I think will be coming through here. It's producing thunder at a rate of about one rumble every 30 seconds or so, but only the odd visible lightning bolt. It's still extremely muggy and unpleasant...

Awoken this morning by very heavy rain, have since heard thunder.Clouds are moving North, doesn't seem to much,if any, lightening activity now.

Awoken this morning by very heavy rain, have since heard thunder.Clouds are moving North, doesn't seem to much,if any, lightening activity now.

I also was just woken 20mins ago by the same very heavy downpour, but no thunder or lightning observed. B)

[Dp1981]

Woken this morning with heavy rain few rumbles of thunder no lightning

Clouds breaking up a little now

[mushymanrob]

surely 1 crack of thunder doesnt constitute a 'storm'...?

had some lightening this morn 12.30 am. 2 minutes of heavy rain... the thunder was pretty pathetic though,

this morning there was several decent rumbles in the distance, its dark here now, several more pathetic, almost apologetic rumbles plus some rain...

as usual just a bunch of crappy thunder, grey skies, nebulous cloud-forms, just thundery showers... NOT a 'storm'.

[Polar Continental]

Just had a spectacular storm here in Burton, best one for years, continuous lighting for 15mins, huge cracking thunderclaps, took out the power a few times, plus alarms going off everywhere B)
