Anyone in Lincolnshire? Wondering if I've missed out on something special by deciding not to chase today

I'm thinking the exact same thing

Can’t really get a visual of the storm east of Scunthorpe, it’s just a grey haze in the distance. Maybe if it was dark I could see the lightning.

Looking like tomorrow evening could be our next chance for storms, these lot just occurred a tad far East. Not sure if any more will happen tonight for this end 

[Somerset girl]

Ha! Stopped on a railway bridge in traffic , there was a flash and and lovely rumble ! 

No watering sweet peas tonight then!

Some very impressive wind shear on the the storm over Exeter, clouds going in every direction possible at some rate of knots with what looks like rotation to my untrained eye.  Rolling thunder (cloud-cloud, no flashes) for the past 40 mins.

Excellent time lapse capture by a twitter user based in Cranbrook just to the west of Exeter, of this cell that was over me.

Wind shear very clear, clouds going left right and centre in short space of time, also captures the barrelling downdraft to some extent.

The twitter user may well be someone at the met office, which is just on the edge of Cranbrook.

[Saint coolio]

Thunder in the test valley, and a few drops of rain

Yes you do

[ChannelThunder]

Towers going up between Winchester and Salisbury can be seen amongst the mostly overcast skies in that direction.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Constant thunder!! Me in garden. Very cited!!

[Getmydrift]

Hearing constant thunder out to the west, these cells seemed to have popped up out of nowhere in the last 30 mins, could be a direct hit here soon!

[AnvilCrawlers]

All gone quiet now but did last a good 30 mins.

[The PIT]

Nothing here of course and the lack of rain continues.  Local forecasts have storms tomorrow but we shall see.

To quote my highly technical eldest daughter “it looks like something out of ghostbusters”

keep an eye out. There appears to be some guy in a glider playing around next to it! Might make tonight’s news, that

Rain at a drizzle now . I'm in North Taunton . 

Sun trying to poke through from the south west , bubbling cloud in the back garden . 

I hope those who want some rain and storms get them .

Frequent thunder to the SW of Warminster, started a few minutes ago. Must be a rapid development as nothing on radar nearby.

[Tom dewey likes thunder]

I can hear rumbles of thunder outside warminster

Gah just skirting to the NW of here. Very light rain. Getting lighter now.

Thanks for the pics and videos!  Stuff seems to be going up closer and closer to the SE and my general area. Perhaps I'll get lucky. The tumbleweed and cacti need some rain.  

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Well that was short and sweet. It's all gone deaded!

[Tom dewey likes thunder]

I can see lots rumbles of thunder and very over my side of warminster
