Did anyone see the mad flashing clouds last night?

We're in the Midlands. Last night, just after dusk, we could see a big bank of cloud due west (towards Wales). Then the clouds started flashing... It looked as though the blitz was going on behind the clouds. Flashes all over the place. I assume it was a huge lightening storm hidden by a cloud - but it really looked like someone was carpet bombing the Malvern hills!

Yes we were under / in it - at least that's the way it felt - SW Shropshire.

Some of the most impressive lightning I have seen - in terms of volume / continuous flashes. You couldn't tell which thunder related to which flash of lightning it was so continuous.

Yes I'm further north and we have had heat/dry lightening for the past two nights. Amazing to watch.

Amazing! Thanks for verifying! I imagine being in it would have been amazing! (If you like storms that is....)

Yep, We were right under it for about 2 hours.

There are some very impressive photos/videos on Twitter from it. Looked apocalyptic.

Yes we did, but it was completely silent! Never seen anything like it before.

It was silent here too (south Gloucestershire), very impressive though!
