hughes.s Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Cracking storm last night, started about 17.30hrs with flashes of lightning coming down the Axe valley towards Axevale and Seaton sat on the beach watching the flashes. I think it broke about 05.30 torrents of rain,thunder, lightning. Poor old dog dont like it though, put him right off his breakfast. Drying off now hope it stays clear for the rest of the day.

Mattnall Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hit us over in Herts in the early hours of the morning, I got up to watch it (actually to have a leak, but I did watch it as well ), very impressive and the gutters struggled to cope.

Guest Stacka Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 We had no power from about 1800 until this morning. My wife's birthday breakfast was interesting with no power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I love a good thunderstorm, especially the lightning. There's just something really primeval about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Had an enormous zero-flash-to-bang display right above the house - just like being shelled; hit in a field 400m away and took out the powerlines. Was awesome to watch, and the brightest lightning I've ever seen - but could have done without the powerline hit - still being worked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown dog Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 When was the last time you got shelled brown dog lol Difficult one to answer; depends whether you mean by fire called by me, fire misdirected by someone else, or fire deliberately directed towards me? 1996, 2014, 2006 I think - cheating with the middle one; I'm including 7 RHA dropping one near my house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
