Got fantastic forks of lightning around the area and rumbles of thunder. Raining too

Indeed, but it was good to see some night bolts of lightning for once as I often only hear the thunder. However nearer the end I did get a little aprehensive as it seemed very close and we've got scafolding around the house at the moment..

just been watching this out of my window and had a lovely couple of second fork display right over my house, with thunder lasting for ages afterwards.

Supposed to be thunder here tonight at 6pm, not happened, weather people are bloody useless never get it right.

wow that was fantastic, i had a great view of it as it looked like it passed right over town heading north/west. im quite high up in itchen/woolsten area so could watch it with a great panorama

heared a fire engine too so i think we may see some poor sods house with holes in it on meridian news tomorrow.

In Windsor now, me and scuzi and chatting on MSN and watching LOL

had a few HUGE, and I mean HUGE bangs!

slothmeister · 26 Jul 2006 at 23:46

well we had just finished our bbq just as the rain started and i live in Hythe, not a massive fan of lightning, ever since my mum scared me with stories about it when i was young.

Doesn't help that we don't have any house insurance at our pad at the moment either, that worries me!

Huge ass storm seems to be passing me buy in Oxford. It's a kind of storm i've never seen before. Flashes of lightening every couple of seconds, not much thunder though.

Impressive to watch though
