Really big in central London now.

Fantastic, we turned the lights off and my 8 year old got out of bed to watch out of his window (the 10 year old could sleep through a herd of wildebeest in his room, haha!)

Thanks for the Lightning map, wow so glad I am not on a boat in the Channel!

amazing lightning, rumbling yet not a drop of rain, nature is awesome. If we could harness lightning that would solve the world's energy problems for ever....... If only.

And here comes the rain! Chucking it down down now! Still and thunder and lightening!

GothMummy · 26/05/2018 23:09

Oh nothing in East Mids! I love to watch lightening too.

Beautiful here over an inner London park.

Cat has stumped off to bed with nerves. Off to join.

Bloody interrupted my sky signal

bluerunningshoes · 26/05/2018 23:12

thunder is more distant now, but lightening still frequent and very bright.
it's getting a lot colder suddenly

I'm in SW London and got a full strobe effect going on at each end of the bedroom but annoying can't see the lightning itself- just the whole sky lighting up. Got a Velux window and the rain is deafeningly loud! Seems to be slowing now...

Oldraver · 26/05/2018 23:14

I thought there was something wrong with my laptop as it kept clicking..

Then I realised it was the lightening map in the background

bialystockandbloom · 26/05/2018 23:14

Crazy for the last ten minutes here in south London, love it! It scared our baby fox cubs off into hiding!

eileandonan · 26/05/2018 23:15

Bloody amazing over here in SE London.

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 26/05/2018 23:15

It sounds like artillery in East London, just constant rumbling and distant crashing. I hope it buggers off, because I really want a good nights sleep.

Heard something outside .... was it a plane or thunder !!!

TheMaddHugger · 26/05/2018 23:16

When I read the title of this my mind went straight to Day of The Triffids'

zen1 · 26/05/2018 23:17

Also in south London. Just looked outside and it looks almost like a tropical storm. The rain is blowing up the hill and water is absolutely pouring into the drains.

bialystockandbloom · 26/05/2018 23:18

maddhugger keep a blindfold on, right? Grin (I love that book)

TheClitterati · 26/05/2018 23:19

The sky is like a disco here in Kent. But not much thunder. Just had some rain.

LighthouseSouth · 26/05/2018 23:19

Bialy you have baby fox Cubs? Brilliant!

Still lightning only.

Sophisticatedsarcasm · 26/05/2018 23:19

I’m in the SE and was just watching it with my DS, he’s fascinated by it 😊

TheClitterati · 26/05/2018 23:19

Ooh here comes the thunder now.

bialystockandbloom · 26/05/2018 23:19

Oh god and now I think we're all going to be blind tomorrow 😱
