Someone turned the storm off! Mid Sussex bound by the looks of it.

I only wanted a screen grab. Technical issues now resolved.

You're really getting some assaults from the elements over there this year. Six-hour power cuts near you too, I hear?

Just passed through Sittingbourne in Kent, hour long torrential rain and wall to wall lighting! Would have been really impressive but for the fact my wife is sh1t scared of storms and it woke the baby. All 3 of us are now on the sofa!

Hope he managed to sleep through.
We ended up with the 7 year old and the 4 month old on bed with us. Didn't help that the youngest had his injections which were bothering him.
I was loving it and staring out the window while they were hating every second. Now up for work and a few strong coffees

You are better informed than me, NAN! I don't always catch the local news, and with family staying at the moment I hadn't seen that (although I did hear about the central library being forced to shut down through water damage, but ironically that was caused by a fractured sprinkler pipe when the storm lifted the roof; no rainwater entered the building).
We are off to San Francisco and Northern California for a week on Thursday for some cooler weather.
Only a few hours sleep in my house also. Burgess Hill to London in the car, at my desk for 6.10am. I'll pay for it later tonight.

My 3 year old slept through the lot and I would have as well if it wasn't for the running commentary given to my by Mrs MBH.

I did, and missed it all.
Something caught fire in South Heighton, just across the valley, but I'm not sure if it was struck by lightning.

Blimey! I must have only had about an hour's sleep
There's a lot of tired people on the roads today, people driving like lunatics, take care out there.
A normal morning then.

The news has confirmed the fire at Three Ponds industrial estate, was a lightning strike.

That's the first time I've seen a river running past my house! Awoke to find loads of stones from the drives of houses in the next street scattered on my road. Was like being on Brighton Beach.
