Think it must be everyone's favorite. There is nothing else that comes
close to it.


Unfortunately it still seems to miss a lot of the lightning here, when
there's a live storm around...

Same here Paul.
What happened to the thunderstorms for SW England?
Have n't heard a dicky bird here.
Once again the English Channel is too wide down here for the storms from France to retain their electrical activity as they come north.
It seems you have to be roughly east of IOW for the thunderstorms to survive the shorter sea passage.
