My sister phoned me about half an hour ago to talk about it, and as she was on
the phone the mains power went off for about 20 seconds.

She's half way between Northallerton & Darlington...

There's been some stunning flashes, a friend on the hill tops above
Catterick's not lost his power, and he's normally one of the first !?

Just taken a look at the www.ukstorms.com site which used to have a very easy
to follow lightning data track for the UK and I didn't see any activity
There's quite a bit shown on
http://meteocentre.com/lightning/map...&map=AEuropeNW
though...
According to http://www.meto.gov.uk/weather/europ...index.html#top
there's been some real deluges, but there's only been a little shower here and
now totally clear...

Seems to have been moving NE...
