Same over in Worthing, also had to find an alternative route to work as the seafront appears to be under a foot of water!
 
Why is it that people forget how to drive in heavy rain/thunderstorms? Yes it's raining hard so you it's a good idea to slow down, but doing 20mph on a de-restricted dual carriageway when you don't even need your wipers on the fastest setting is a tad dangerous isn't it?
 
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening me.

Magnifico.



proper belting it down in the real newcastle at the moment with some thunder and lightning a few miles away
 
Three hours of sheet lightning tonight in Hanoi! Was very cool being on a rooftop bar watching it. Few loud bangs of Thunder but mostly a continuous low Rumble. Much better than anything in the UK!
 
Just rain over here. Does anyone still plug out all electricals during lightening storms? Anyone ever had anything burnt out from lightening hitting a power line?

I lost a fuse board when I was on holiday in France once. Ill dig out the photo but the fuse plugs were melted pretty badly.
 
Lightning strike about 50 metres away from home around 3pm. My router is toast literally fried and some external cat5 cabling no longer will carry a signal. Also blew the trip in the garage but got off lightly really.
Previously I've lost a chest freezer full of food and a very expensive motorized satellite receiver due to close strikes.
