Brief storm 2230. 4 flashes and a bit of thunder. Moderate rain.

[stumathers]

Heavy/torrential rain for 30 mins after 10pm accompanying a weak storm. Flashes every 2-3 mins.

Strange as areas just east and west of here are bone dry

I'm just on the edge of that storm Dee88, some very impressive forked lightning and cloud to cloud strikes, but totally dry here although my wife said that there was heavy hail in Glengormley, only about 3 miles from here.

[Dazza]

It sure is a great one dee.

A cracking thud of thunder just there (a few screams from shoppers ). Still chucking it down, and I'm stuck in the office with no windows

[dee88]

house or something has been struck by lightning, fire alarm going off and sort of purple light came off. what gives off a purple light when it gets hit by lightning. oh i hear emergancy services now

Thunderstorm this afternoon over eastern Kent. Lots of CG's plus a spell of heavy rain.

[iafford]

First rumble from the South East of here.

Probably going to miss us as it appears to be heading North.

Oh, this is bad, really bad. I haven't seen anything like this for years. Torrential Rain accompanied by Thunder Storms, with no sign of it letting up! with a little on the side.

[rob-lancs]

Had a rumble here, can't see the road apart from a mist above it which I'm assuming is where the rain is bouncing, very surreal.

[dee88]

most amazing storm ive ever see, got some footage and pictures. streets complety flooded. still rumbling on

[BFS/BHD]

That storm just looks fantastic and im in Belfast missing out . The terminal at Belfast International has apparently been evacuated becasue of flooding!! Just a couple of flights diverted to Belfast City. A First Choice aicraft reported a fork pretty close whilst it was on approach. I'll look forward to seeing those pics and vids if you can upload them!

[Marcus_surfer]

It was a sunny start but there is quite a few heavy showers & thunderstorms around here now, Ive heard some rumbles but thats about it.

[AGOH]

Yes, same here. Another storm approaching with thunder almost directly overhead as I type this! It must be very bad out your way dee.

[dee88]

flooding, landslides, what next. A2 Antrim - Main Road closed both ways at the A2 Bank Road junction in Larne, because of a landslip. Diversion in operation. areas around carnlough currently inacessible

Seems to be clearing here now but still some distant rumbles of thunder. Looks like that's it for here but out towards the north west appears to be getting a pasting right now according to the radar.
