The lightning was regular, frequent and overhead with amazing cloud-cloud
flickering and the occasional ground strike; the thunder was the house
foundation shaking type and at times truly deafening. The brightness of
the
lightning was awe inspiring.

I experienced the ground shaking thunder too. A number of really deep angry
rumbles that you don't hear too often which went on for a good couple of
hours. I was seemingly just on the edge of the worst of it and didn't notice
any hail. Quite a night and it all came as a complete surprise to me.
