Time for a cup of tea. Hailstones are huge. Car alarms going off. Get a few episodes of prison break in.

It's a huge light show in hangleton but other than a few odd super loud strikes the actual thunder has been fairly faint here, fortunately for the sleepers.

They are pretty impressive. Seem to be increasing in intensity out there. Assuming they follow their current route anywhere from Worthing to Eastbourne should get quite a spectacular show between 12 - 1 at a guess

You sir are spot on.

I turned in at 11 and was awoken not long before 1am and am now sitting watching the most amazing light show from my darkened kitchen facing south over thd sea.

I can. My nearly three year old. Not heard a peep from him all night.

This is the worst thunder and lightning storm I can ever remember. Sky constantly lit up. Mental scenes.

I suppose they'll be a few Pisheads that'll sleep right through it

I'm now up, no need for lights with the sky alight. Heavy rain and long rolls of thunder.

This is fun

As long as my nearly 3 yo doesn't wake up I don't mind. Luckily the thunder isn't banging too loudly. Haven't seen lightning intensity before over here.
