Well, big by recent standards. I've been out under the gazebo watching
the most fantastic display of cc lightning - seemed like it was all
around me. Accompanied by thunder and very heavy rain, but never
directly overhead. So frustrating trying to point the camera, and even
more frustrating that my digital doesn't have a B setting, so I used the
OM1 and I will have to WAIT for the photos. They'll be crap, but I want
to know straight away. I should say the storm lasted about an hour - its
drifting away to the north west I think .

Yes Here in Barrow in Furness it was right overhead and lasted for well over
the hour
