Had a pretty good storm pass over the island last night
I went out to see if could catch some shots of the lightning, out of 87 photo's taken i got this one (it was took from inside my car with torrential rain)



There may be more storms around for the UK as the de-stabilization of the plume is taking place.

On topic, yesterday we had the nastiest thunderstorm I've ever experienced in Finland. The sky was literally like a strobe light. Too bad I didn't break out my camera..

[Jimmy]

[Johan.]

We had thunder last night. Wasn't much, but was awesome. Just left my window open (wind was in the other direction anyway so wouldnt rain inside).

Recently discovered this real time lightning map: http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime?lang=en

Apparently it updates only a matter of seconds after the lightning strike has occurred.
