Anyone in a thunderstorm?

One of the loudest rumbles I've probably ever heard literally just happened with a massive fork of lightning just a few houses in the distance to follow.

Hope they're OK, whoever they were. I've only had that happen twice since I've lived here and last time a nearby house lost half its roof. I reckon that was the start of my roof troubles too (now cost £1750 to fix, though most of that was work that needed doing anyway).

Heard a rumble around here but couldn't decide if it was weather-related, so don't know for sure.

It isn't even raining in Northampton such a letdown

I heard it lasted about a minute in Leeds lol

It was over Wetherby area not so long ago, now it's over Thirsk (sodding loud too!) but it's about gone now

I wish I was

Was chucking it down about 3 hours ago - now... nothing

Had some rain earlier, but has stopped for the time being.

Nothing here in Hull.

Just had some fork lightning in York. Passed over pretty quick though.

Rain.

At least it wasn't raining during the day (apart from the morning).

drove through Leeds 3 hours too early

, the only excitement near Leeds i had was an accident on the M62 between J25/26 and 3/4 hour stuck in traffic.

Raining here but I wish it was a thunderstorm so it would 'clear the air' too muggy today methinks :rolleyes:

Had some thunder and lightning earlier, nothing great though

Yep had a load of the stuff a couple of hours ago now. Lasted quite a while and even took the power down for a few seconds.
I was like :eek:

when my PC switched off in front of me...all fine thankfully.

Cue [TW]Fox's reply "As usual in Plymouth we have no weather, just cloud..."

(Yeah, there hasn't been any thunder in Plymouth today, it just spat a bit)

I've been spoiled a bit last summer when I was away, two heavy thunder storms with torrential rain and hail, British thunderstorms can't compare.

dandan556 · 15 May 2009 at 23:34

Yeah loads of thunder and lightning earlier in Doncaster.

mattyprice4004 · 15 May 2009 at 23:39

Rain here in Prestonland.

Last night was full of fireworks and music for the Infinity Bridge opening so tonight has been quiet really. Seen a few flashes earlier, no thunder, but it's throwing it down now and again here.

Love thunderstorms myself, havn't had one for ages and ages though around here, not one where i have been awake/awoken anyways.

AtlanticP · 16 May 2009 at 00:23

Rainy drizzle here in Bodmin but no thunder

p4radox · 16 May 2009 at 00:25

No rain here. Hopefully it'll hold off for my match tomorrow...
