2035

Awesome lightning flash cutting across the sky from south to north at mid-levels
at 2025. Loud booming thunder. Quickly followed by another and then another.
Flash rate 1/minute for about 3 or 4 minutes. Now moving away to the east.
Whhhheeeeeyyyyyyyy, big flash to my east, loud thunder as I type. This is as
good as some of the SE storms I enjoyed in Crowthorne. Rainfall rate 26.4 mm/h
at one stage. Rainfall from storm now 5.1 mm, so nothing special in that regard.
But the lightning display has been magic. One thing about living on Dartmoor is
that it is normally dead quiet so when you get a storm you hear everything, from
the slightest murmur to all the deep rumbles.

Still dry here at 2040Z, Will. If it doesn't fizzle it will be the first TS
over my way since god knows when. Snow has been more common in the past 12
months and that's saying something !

2050

Flash rate back to one flash per 5 minutes and storm moving away to northeast.
Still raining hard at 6.9 mm/h with the storm total now up to 6.9 mm.

Bar 1008.4 hPa and steady so trough now through.

Lights just flickered for some reason as distant lightning flashed, thunder now
murmuring.

Well that was fun :-)
