Crazy in TN6 right now! Trying to sleep and it's so loud and bright!

Orionaut · 23 Jun 2016 at 01:47

It is starting up here now! (SW Surrey) Lots of flashes!

Lurvley!

And here....we....go.....

Nice one coming up from the channel now in Southampton, big flashes and plenty of thunder

Just had the most almighty clap of thunder and lightning I think I've seen/heard in all my life

robfosters · 23 Jun 2016 at 01:58

The rain here is torrential!

Bloody apocalypse out there atm! Must have been 15 flashes in about 30 seconds, deafening thunder and torrential rain. Been going on for a good 45 mins.

Not when I want to sleep it's not

One of the lightning strikes was pinpointed pretty much in my back garden :eek:

Seems to be dying down a bit now but still a lot of flashes in the distance towards Totton way according to the realtime map.

Unfortunately it seems to be passing me by.

It has done enough to keep me awake and agitated (electricity I guess) but hasn't actually done anything particularly exiting.

(Kind of like a drunk woman picked up from a bar!

)

Ho Hummn!"

Live on elevated ground -- you'll get plenty of stormy excitement then!

Conscript · 23 Jun 2016 at 06:31

I'm annoyed. We had lots of lightning in the early hours, but no thunder whatsoever. I only woke up because our dog was scared and climbed up onto the bed.

Cosimo · 23 Jun 2016 at 06:32

Some rumbling during the night and now chucking it down.

Schizo · 23 Jun 2016 at 06:53

Big thunderstorm and non stop torrential rain since 3am.

Josh · 23 Jun 2016 at 07:12

2 am in Guildford, loads of it. Even woke me up which is the first time I can remember being awoken by Thunder.

Just stated again in Guildford also.

Happy summer everyone!

Was mental around our area around 0200, some very close strikes, including one just south of The Big Cheese. Messed my sleep up for ~90 minutes.
