I haven't seen thunder and lightening like we had this week. Very spectacular across the south east. Hope everyone was ok and know structure damage? `[/u] |

Hello Mark. We had some huge thunder claps last night and plenty of sheet lightning but no damage. The water butts are now full again . |

No rain at all here so far today and one single example of fork lightning at 7 am
They say it's going to rain tonight and as if by perfect timing I've got a team of builders turning up here in the morning to replace my garage roof  _________________ Are you ready for a Ruddles? |

There were some terrific thunderstorms in Manchester, Friday night/Saturday morning.
Lucky you,Helen,sleeping through them...I had the sheet over my face and hoped they would stop!  |

Oh Becky, we are different! I was at the bedroom window wishing there were not so many trees in the way  |

I am not quite as terrified as I used to be,Eileen, but could never see myself stood at windows,wishing trees away, for a better view.. (those trees must be tall ones!) |

I'd really rather have the trees than see the lightning Becky. They are old oaks as we live on former forest land. |
