Any mn's near here? It looks appalling

Have you seen it on the satellite image! Can't believe it can be seen from space. If you go to metoffice.co.uk and then click satellite images, you can see the smoke.

Unfortunately I can't link it as the page doesn't have a seperate name.

The first bang just after 6am woke me up- I'm in Ashford Kent! I thought it was thunder, then it sounded like someone on our deck.

Blimey! Just checked out the sat image!

Was just going to post the same actually, I'm in Barking. Got out of the shower, went into our room, DP on nights asleep and it really does look like night.

I think the wind has changed and looks as if it is blowing in more of a north-west direction now, rather than west as it was before. The sky is all black over there but this side is now bright sunshine. There's a clear dividing line where the plume of smoke rises.

OMG - just read this and realised that we heard it too in SW London. I was dealing with ds2 and dp was upstairs with ds1 and we both heard a bang. I thought it was him upstairs, he thought it was the neighbours (although they'd only rolled in from a night out 1 1/2 hours earlier).

Hope everyone is OK.

anyone know how many firemen are there ? My brother is with the Bucks brigade - the neighbouring one - and am wondering if he will have been called in as well.

Not that I can tell misdee.
