Default [WR] Distant Lightning - Essex

No problems George - one of those things you have to spot first then start
watching - I just caught one by accident. Some of them are now nice long
C-C strikes which are pretty. There is a long row of Cb clouds - and there
will be no activity for a couple of minutes then one will discharge and then
some of the others within 1 second or so - how are they electrically linked
?

I have been watching lightning for around 40 minutes now from a line of

Cb
clouds way way in the distance to the N-West of here.


Which prompted me to look out of the window and sure enough there was the
lightning on the NW horizon

All the best
