A Happy New Year thunderstorm shortly after 1am this morning. I could make out the anvil coming because of the almost full moon. Sarted with light rain and distant rumbles then a huge downpour of hail - the most intense hail I've ever seen - even better than the hail on 1st October 2006. Four very bright flashes of lightning (all sheet) and loud thunder. Lasted about 25 minutes all in all and my rain guage collected 12mm from it!

Hoping for more later.
