Thunderstorm in the middle of Monday night: constant flickering
lightning and rumbling thunder when I was woken by it around 03.30 local
time.


I watched that one for a while on the radar site. Worked it's way up
from central France over the course of about 3 hours. God help us in
this country if we ever see the likes of it. At one time it was active
for over a 400 mile length, as far as from London to Edinburgh plus a
chunk more.

There was a similar sized storm across Germany at the same time.
