I got woken up by a mahoosive clap of thunder last night, the loudest I've ever heard. I live about half a mile from the 2nd highest lightning conductor in the local area, I'm guessing it got struck.
My 1st thought was "'kin 'ell, that thunder's loud", my 2nd was "****, this ain't thunder it's a fookin' plane crash" and my 3rd was remembering a line from Evo magazine "thunderclap like someone throwing a Deltic diesel wrapped in a blanket down a flight of stairs"

Getting very dark in Hertfordshire now. Rumbles of thunder and it's just started to rain.....
I love big storms, not sure the dog is so keen though, so I don't think I will be taking her out for a walk.

A few hours ago was mega bad here (gloucester).
Roads are lakes
Had the same thunder this morning too- woke me up, then i realised my rear windows had been vented all night... one damp interior

"A bit stormy"... yeah, just a bit. Catching a train out of Waterloo was a nightmare. Pretty much every train was cancelled! Thankfully I was able to catch one of the four which remained in service at that time.
WHAT A CHANGE FROM YESTERDAY:0!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was f'ing mental. It was like a tornado hit at one point, with trees bending over like straws.
An hour earlier I drove through the first wave on the m1 / m25 and it was bloody scary, the lightning kept hitting the huge pylons, they ,must have conductors built in???

Yep, I was on my bike for the first time in the wet (without wet gear!!
) on the M1.Never been so glad to get home!
At one point a pylon that got hit must of only been 50ft from me!
