Time 0145 - WoW. Just had a cracking storm, not finished yet. I jumped out
of bed with the noise of the thunder
Torrential rain for about 5 minutes
Appears to be passing now


In Stafford we had some weak electrical activity around 2100 last
night, off to the north. Oddly, the wind was from the south so the
storm must have kicked off after having passed directly over me.

Could see forked lightning but it appeared to be cloud-cloud, not
cloud-ground. Couldn't hear the thunder.

I'm convinced that Stafford has its own micro-climate. I think
RAF Stafford fiddle with it :-)
