25 Mar 2010 1701z
Thunder heard to SW. Looking very black between S and W.
1703z. tl to SW, much closer. Now closing down for a while.

Update: 1720z. tl now moved away to north, still steady
hvy ra falling. The storm passed ovhd at 1707z, with a
couple of quite close lightning flashes. Torrential rain at
that time with brief hail mixed in, and a wind squall to 33kt.
Vis reduced to ca 1000m. As far as I could judge, nearly
all the lightning was cloud to cloud.
