Tell me about it. Have just been Southend and we were all watching it come over. Amazing lightning all the way back as well. Very rare to see that much forked lightning and most of it was hitting the ground.

Best bit was coming back over the bridge @ Dartford. Amazing lightning going down behind the hills and some serious cloud-jumping as well.

Weird thing was that I heard no thunder.

Thunder was earlier on during the night, i stood out in the rain just looking up at the sky for just over 20 mins at the height of it all...

Was breath taking to see the lightening, almost as if there was 2 or 3 storms going on at the same time, the lightening and thunder was constant.

And yes i got soaked thru to the skin lol

Can't believe you had no rain, it absolutly chucked it down here - almost like a cloud burst! Proper hard rain for at least 45mins or so.
