    I spent about 40 minutes on top of a hill watching the lightning in the distance, it was calm at the start but as the system moved closer the winds picked up so I came indoors, as I reached the door the first drops of rain started fall.

    Must be some storm down there.
    I can see faint flashes to my south 200+km away, just see a fairly bright one that seemed closer

    Lightening activity decreasing now. The thing with these storms is how quick it shuts off.
