Hi

Really enjoying your storm from west sheffield on the edge of the peaks. Never seen a storm with so many lightening flashes. Huge thunderhead with linear lightning trails when near the edge of the system. Cant hear a thing though:)

Well after earlier stating it hadn't happened it take it bk lol... Best storm in years for me here... Drove out to faith ahem lake to watch the storms over the irish see toward Stockport come rolling in... Then unbelievable amount of lightning... Pretty sure something near me got struck too as there was a bolt then instantly the loudest clap of thunder I've ever heard.
