KFC Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Well, that was the noisiest, brightest night in a long time. Lightening was incredible. No point in trying to sleep so got up, made a cuppa and watched the storm. We've been praying for some rain for the cover crops but there's ups and downs to that. Downside, the cover I'm working in this morning, fox-proofing a pen, has a really tall, thick mix of plants in it which will hold the water. I'll get soaked. Upside, field next door is Barley so, as Littlerob says, that will have been flattened so could be a week of Pigeon shooting. Going to be tough fitting it in with all the Foxing, Rabbit shooting and Trout fishing but, hey-ho, someone's got to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 I cannot recall a more violent storm in this country. The thunder was particularly loud and the lightening fairly frightening. This was near Stow in the Cotswolds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marki Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Around 3am by me. Absolutely stunning. I got up to check the dogs were ok and then sat watching it. Very muggy this morning with very limited visibility off the hills, not sure if it's mist or low cloud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Out looking for a fox last night ( Cumbria ) and saw forked lightning a couple of times. Brilliant to watch against the orange moon, and was woken briefly by one solitary clap of thunder in the early hours but that was it. We had a big electrical storm last week apparently but I never saw anything of it. Got the fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennett Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) One almighty clap of thunder right over head here in newmarket, followed by the whole sky being lit up by lightening in all directions, but no more thunder which was weird!

Cranfield Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Nothing in Kent last night, just a light shower this morning and the sun is now out on full beam. We need some rain desperately in places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyska Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 It was the most violent storm I've seen for years, a barrage of lightening and thunder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Threw it down last night in the Sevenoaks area, lots of thunder & lightning. Fortunately, the edge of the rain stayed about a mile away from where we are performing, but the third act of Lear (the storm on the heath ) had a real storm in the background. Couldn't have arranged it better if we tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Saw ball lightning about 10pm last night up here while I was sitting in a hedgerow waiting for a fox (he didn't turn up), started raining about 15 minutes later, and I got pretty well soaked with the half mile walk back to the car.

rovercoupe Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Finished touching up a few bits of paint on the pcp last night and charged it back up and at half 2 in the morning was woken by a allmighty bang as one of the o rings gave up and vented 200 bar out into the bedroom after that the thunder seemed pretty lame. New boxers were needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBob Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Had a beautiful day here in Warwickshire, grandkids played outside all day. Stayed up late, chilled, and went to bed around one-thirty, Slowly, all sound ceased, even the sheep in the fields were quiet, then we saw distant flickers of lightning in the distance. Half an hour later, it struck properly! Incredible continuous light show, massive bangs, windows shaking and rain of Biblical proportions. A real treat to experience, from the safety of bed!
