    WOW unbelievable night. Just had amazing series of thunder n lighning strikes, One huge bang awoke me from my slomber I then looked out the window and a minute later one HUGE flash apeaerred and actually hurt my eyes it was so Bright, instantly followed by another huge thunder rumble. Incredible. Currently typing on phone as electricity is off and as you see with no spell check on phone my terrible spelling has been exposed!!!

    Hadd some loud thunder here around 4am, probably more that didn't wake me, quite a while since I've seen the radar looking like this! Plenty of strikes right along the west coast

    It was an amazing thunderstorm last night, In the space of 5 minutes I seen 6 or 7 lightning flashes alone. I also seen fork lightning once. Impressive to say the least.
    Although the sound of thunder was very intimidating.

    This image definitely deserves to be archived in the thread, don't think I've ever seen so many strikes over the country!

    I think you meant to say "over one side of the country" because there's bugger all over this side :mad:

    If you click "I dag" on the top left of the screen it breaks it down to 3 hourly.

    Hey everyone, didnt know exactly where to post this but with my faster broadband and bigger youtube allowance now and for a Christmas prezzie to all the people in the weather boards , i went along and re-edited my footage and made it just under the max hour.

    Got a fright at the start when the sound wasnt working for the intro credits.
    But ye it comes on from the first scene in.

    It takes long enough to load though because of the length of the video itself.
    So ye, even watch it in parts and let me know what yous think :)


    Features : Lightnings ! , Gustnadoes! , HAIL AND MORE HAIL! ... A shockingly close lightning bolt! .... and of course.... 3 tornadoes!
     :)


    ENJOY!
    Play this for the start ;)
