Incredible amounts of distant thunder coming from this cell to my W/SW. Almost as frequent as el-brumo last June!

[STORMGUY]

i.m getting all on video

[Costa Del Fal]

Ugghh, no sferics in Worcestershire now. The stuff around Gloucester will go to our East! haha.

[Staffordshire]

Amazing cloud scape, bright red at one point, pics to come later

I cant here thunder but have seen some strikes

[Ian Ballinger]

All gone quiet here now

[PolarWarsaw]

This is incredible. Bright pink CG thunder, thunder every 10 seconds and it's miles away from here. Fantastic storm, storm of the summer.

[STORMGUY]

rhis is the best part of the day when it gets dark you can see the lightning better

[nitro_deluxe]

More! After slight clearance...between Bridgnorth and Telford, pulled over plenty of CC lightning...boom!

[Barbmac]

Rumble of thunder quite close!

[Costa Del Fal]

Finally I can see the CG lightning to my North and hear the thunder. Snoozefest actually over us though.

[nitro_deluxe]

The sky  is an evil colour

Greens yellows..boy this one is belching

[I remember Atlantic 252]

frequent thunder and flashes, definitely got NW midlands this one!

[STORMGUY]

this next one is coming straight over my ghouse

[Hathers]

That was pretty amazing. Lots of lightning and Thunder. The cloudscape were awesome. Didn't hit over head more towards Shifnal, Cosford way. Lovely rainbow and CG strike straight through the middle of it. Should of had my camera.

[matt_in_dudley]

Rather shocked but it happens to be thundering, lightning and massive random drops of rain! I wasn't expecting this. Adding to the four storms here the other day. Sky is looking evil! Well done Dudley lol

Yea I think we missed to worst of it by a couple of miles

[Costa Del Fal]

Yep all decaying now. Even the storm to my North seems to be weakening. Some nice CG's seen though. But to my south where it matters, nothing. Could have been so much better.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

whoa jesus like a shotgun, got me full on, torrential now, and flash overhead

[azores92]

yep caught the tail end of that storm in wollaston, incredible, looking over yonder and it looks incredible shropshire way

[matt_in_dudley]

I think it is dying

[azores92]

one word, MEH, looked so promising on the radar

[PolarWarsaw]

My word. Pink CG lighning every 2-3 seconds to my north, west and south west. Fantastic amount of lighnintg, got a mini vid on my phone (iphone so it lacks quality).

[Costa Del Fal]

Indeed Azores, we couldnt have been worser placed if we tried. However Lightning from the storm to my North is becoming more frequent again. Noctornal cooling?

[JinxTheCat]

Just driven through a huge storm northbound M5

[I remember Atlantic 252]

My word. Pink CG lighning every 2-3 seconds to my north, west and south west. Fantastic amount of lighnintg, got a mini vid on my phone (iphone so it lacks quality).
