To be fair I've not had my eyes calibrated in a while, but you are right, especially in this situation, it is always going to be a little over the top, measurement wise, once that adrenaline gets pumping.

Sizable tree down in the village, about 2ft trunk. Roads covered in general tree debris. Some phone lines down locally. Amazingly the remaining half of a tree at the top of my drive is still standing after the other but fell down in dead calm conditions the other week. (I still don't quite understand what happened there!) Edited to cover up the fact I can't type

Just had a baby squall line cross through here (Grantham, Lincs), I estimate, using my patented 'Eye-o-Meter' we had winds peaking 50-60 Mph for a very short time, very potent. In some of the gusts, it was like the remaining leaves exploded off the trees, which made it even more visually impactful.

Seems to be gaining quite a nice nose there (looking towards Newark, I'd say about over Newark infact) Gentle rumbling heard, some nice flashes, Top of anvil now just coming over my location.

Taken just now...

Keep the faith! I mean, it's not really worked for me, but it could work for you! I have a wobble board and someone ready to flick the light on and off really fast for later if we don't get anything #DesperateTimes

A late evening chase for me, which was more a little drive out, saw a couple of nice sparks near Newark after I managed to capture these bad boys.

Nice to have a little cell flair up right over the house for once. Not much but some cracking (excuse the pun) thunder. Nearest strike less than 300m away, some good sky rolling, panoramic style thunder too!

Distant thunder can be heard, about once every 30 seconds. Nice and beefy, rolling across the sky type too! Bit of Mamatus on the front edge (well looks lime it anyway)

Good morning. I've been told this is where you order storms, I hope I am correct. I would like to place an order for: 1x Medium Storm, 56x CG, 23 IC, 2x Nasty gusts (no damage option) and 3x Bouts of 'I've not seen rain like this for ages'. Delivery after 3PM please, as I've been on nights. Thank you in advance!

Well... Not quite gone to bed yet, kinda got snagged on watching YouTube shorts. Took headphones off to almighty rumble. Surprised dot com Went outside, I only gone snagged myself a few nice cracking ear thunders! Sky is meh, rain is even meher... Meh-er... More meh? Anyway. Poop. Need to sleep.

I don't want to be *that person* but using my layman's eyes outside it does very much look like something interesting is happening, every cloud seems to be going in a different direction, and through the breaks in the lower (ish) cloud you can see cauliflowers shooting up at speed, which is making me quite hungry...thanks nature. Nice little discrete cell near Newark having a good go at things, making someone wet for sure. Hope everyone gets what they want, I fear I am going to be asleep during the 'best bit', blooming shifts....

Not at all, you have every reason to be exited, by my reckoning, that was less than 400 Meters away, I think you did well to keep the blue words at bay, personally! Nice capture.

Edit: I have no idea how to delete this post, I've looked everywhere, it's beyond me, Apologies for the double post, please delete this.
