Thunderstorm right overhead here. Anyone else?

And we’re on a hill. Only saving grace is that there are some pretty tall trees about 60m away. Can literally feel some of the shaking through the armchair. Gulp…

Same here in York.

It’s fab!

Craftycorvid · 03/07/2021 22:43

Yup, very ‘close’ here and some lightning. Electrical storms always make me feel unwell.

One starting here on holiday in the lakes in a tiny little cabin. I love storms..the rain is so loud it’s waking my 17 month old up though, she’s in bed with me but keeps sitting up like what the hell is that?!

Oh that sounds lovely @Rou5467, I love storms too, TBH. Hope she settles back down though.

None here in Wiltshire

Yorkshire too. It was mental for half an hour. It did not stop!

RampantIvy · 03/07/2021 23:15

Whereabouts in Yorkshire? We live in South Yorkshire, but are away just now. I'm jealous.

AColdDuncanGoodhew · 03/07/2021 23:15

We were forecast a storm tonight (West of Scotland) but none. Gutted! I think it’s due tomorrow now.

AttaGirrrrl · 03/07/2021 23:15

I’m just about to get out of the bath as the rain has picked up here…

Somethingsnappy · 03/07/2021 23:19

Jealous! Ours keep getting forecast, then they cancel them....

I'm near Harrogate but it was in the eastern sky.

“They cancel them” Grin

Damn 2021 with all its cancellations. First they took our concerts, now they’re taking our storms.

TheLovelinessOfDemons · 03/07/2021 23:22

The forecast says overnight. London.

Exactly! It's how I feel EVERY SINGLE TIME the bastards get our hopes up and then dash them. Bloody Met Office.
AttaGirrrrl · 03/07/2021 23:37

They’ll cancel the summer next. Fuckers.

Shmithecat2 · 03/07/2021 23:38

Yep. In North Yorkshire, near Boroughbridge.

Nobody should have that much power. It goes to their heads and they mess with our minds.
HangingOver · 03/07/2021 23:48

No but we have football twats letting off fireworks. 3 fireworks cue 30 minutes of seagulls screaming their heads off Angry

pyjamams13 · 03/07/2021 23:52

SomethingAboutNothing · 03/07/2021 23:54

We're a bit further north in noth Yorkshire and nothing here, wonder if it will head this way. Has been very muggy this evening.
