lol..Davo....wasn't me!!

No storm here in Kent. The phone did ring at 3.30 am with no-one there, though. D

I am usually a very light sleeper and hear things that no one else does but..... have to say, I was a bit surprised when daughter said this morning that we had a storm during the night. Now I am concerned that i didn't hear it!! Jacky:-) Wondered why the washing was still wet this morning!

Storm here was amazing! it started with the loudest clap of thunder I'd ever heard! I thought something had blown up right outside the window - gave me palpitations for a good 5 minutes, the lightening and rain started almost straight away, and OMG did it rain! and yes my washing was still out!! Teri

We had it bad here in Wiltshire too. Thunder,Lightening...the lot! x

Thanks for the warning Mags but we didn't get any at all last night

omg yes i was lol - but Rick has just remebered to tell me he was watching it lol he said it was unreal he has never seen a storm like it!! xx

Jan were perchance on the wine again last night, lol????

Mags???????? storm?????????? you sure????????? lol We never heard a thing!! xx

Hi All If the storm came through Taunton last night I slept through it. We did get a lot of rain but I went to bed at 1-30 & no sign of a storm up to then. Sun is shining at the moment. Vivienne

Had quite a lot of lightning here at 3.00 a.m.; some thunder to go with it, and a splash of rain. Lovely now...just got me shorts out of mothballs, put them on and they still fit!! Brian, ;-O

Hi, Mags. Last night, just as Bob and I were getting the cats in for the night, he called me out. There was lightening going on just behind the clouds, and a faint rumble of thunder now and then. Don't know if you're on here, Dawn (Devon Dumpling), but did you see it? We watched it for a while, and it was quite impressive! We waited for the storm, but it didn't arrive, which surprised us. The air up in Bristol should be clearer now, though it's still muggy here in Devon.

Thought I had better go down the garden...which is on a slope. It must have been like Niagara Falls down the steps - whatever was on the top of the steps between each terrace (sounds flash that doesn't it - terrace? LOL - not really!) - ended up at the bottom and the barked area has been mashed to a brown sludge! - Oh well at least it smells nice! Magsxx

Well the storm hit Norfolk, and boy did it rain! My 14 month old dog didn't make a sound, and Hubby and eldest son never heard a thing. I was so pleased when my youngest mentioned all the rain and banging in the sky as i was beginning to think i had dreamed it all, lol Yvette

Will someone please tell me what a storm is we haven't had rain for so long we can't remember what it is like, if you don't want it over there send it to us please. Love Cilla from Oz. xxx

I Love storms...... Wish we could have a storm...its just drizzling pathetically up here in Sunderland... :( Anitax

Mags, we are quite close to the Aerospace playing fields in Filton and could see the lightening towards Henbury golf course, but it was not too bad here. My sister lives in Kingswood and she had it bad over there too. You must have taken the brunt of it!!!!!

Apparently there was a storm here in Gloucester but we slept through it!! Ann Glos

Julie........ME TOO! I was in bed and heard the 'rolling thunder'. Then the lightning came, beautiful it was. I just love watching them. My mum God Bless her, was so very afraid of storms. She used to hide under the stairs. Deanna

There was rain in North Herts. But didn't hear a storm. Very muggy (humid) here and was overcast although the sun has just come out. Hope everyone has a brilliant day. Viv
