Blackmore, SW Essex.

Satellite image shows the storms clearly and shows the cloud sneaking
into the very far SE. I doubt whether you'll see any rain in Essex.

It had OUR name on it last night with knobs on...
Four hour lightning show all around, gusty wind, but oddly, not a drop

We seem to get these long overnighters quite frequently over here -
