At much the same time at Wallsend a large TS went to my north and one
went overhead about 30 minutes later which was spawned from the former.

Strange reading about the artillery going off - you couldn't see the
lightning but thunder was surprisingly loud even from more than 10 miles
away - using a radio to detect the flashes.

Saw a crane getting hit by a CG at the old Swan Hunter site - flang!

You could see the scuddy low cloud being dragged in from the North Sea
and cooler damp conditions were advected in and ultimately it killed the
lightning off here leaving just murk.
