| | | Good thunder storm brewing
I'm in Englands most Easterly point & it is silent all around & very muggy. It looks as though we are in for one hellof a storm tonight, both videoa camera & stills camera is ready. Although the last storm kept over the norfolk side of the River Waveney this storm looks as though it is coming from the sea.
I hope it's a good one.

We're supposed to have had the rain by now, but all we get is a few spots from time to time. Our garden is really parched well, and I don't feel like watering if the weather will do it naturally. Well, I don't feel like watering after this bottle of red wine anyway!! |

Down the right hand side of the page, you'll see stats to tell you what percentage of the ligtening activity was GC, IC, positive or negative.
Right now there appears to be no lightening activity. I hope I explained that properly |

I am glad we cleared that up.
I can't possibly know everything about everything.
Thanks

Had a bit of storm this afternoon with heavy rain but it soon petered out I cannot remember a good storm around here (Lowestoft) for years. The river or the sea seem to break them up.It is nearly always sheet lightning.
