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 !
