I must admit i was at andys in scarborough last week and there was a thunderstorm going on all day and night but it eased of to almost nothing whilst i was there, he went to go make a brew as we were in his garage wiring in his digi dash, i went out for a cig and the use of the local convenience (see drain in middle of his tenfoot lol) when there was a huge flash and a fork of lightening, if it werent for the fact i was already using the convenience i woulda pi$$ed meself lol was soooo quiet and was a bit away as there was no noise at first it sooo freaked me out lol.

Was thick fog and pouring rain on the way home (hour-hour and half drive) took it steady and was really relaxing tbh, 100watt headlight & foglight bulbs and heated leather ftw lol

If I know its happening & have the time, I usually leg it out to the local coastline where its great to watch thunder storms. Its about 10 minutes away.

Its overlooking the Bristol channel - Bridgwater bay, where there is about a 30mile open estuary. Great views to see the lightning all around.

I got a buzz from some lightning a few years ago, we were digging a lake out & 2 storms decided to meet over our heads.. personally i wasn't impressed & my joints ached for a couple of days. the strike landed about 20m away on a metal field gate.

I love summer storms. Still, warm night, huge booms of thunder, lightening illuminating the sky, then a sudden downpour that lasts about 5 minutes and floods everything.
