That was amazing!! :eek::D

Watched constant lightning for about 45 minutes, although it kept going LONG after that. It was like horror movie weather...

And the RAIN! Oh my word! WHAT a downpour!

you could have sworn you were in florida or alike martin, it was so much like a storm from over there than a british thunderstorm, at some points it was flash after flash after flash.
