My Long Wave radio experience is still crackly.

The thunder is now constant and lightning is visible.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Jun 18, 2023 5:51 pm

It's now showing up on the map.

It looks like everywhere just to the east of Sheffield is getting pounded.

And now lightning's appearing to the west of Sheffield. dontpanic

I noticed the lightning over Sheffield earlier.

We had distant but for a while constant rumblings of thunder during the afternoon but looking at the map it never really got any closer than Sutton Coldfield however many miles over to the east.

There certainly was at Hatfield. I think that's the first time I've driven through an actual thunderstorm.

Lightning has arrived. Excited

I'd been tracking the lightnings on the map during the day and first they were over the Liverpool area, then a separate lot started over east Birmingham, so a few miles from where I am. It went dark and we had some occasional distant rumbles and a lot of rain - it certainly felt typically thundery - but the worst of it missed this immediate area.

The same storm moved north eastward, over Derby and then I saw it begin its attack on the Sheffield area. fireball

It brought the heaviest rain I've ever seen. I couldn't even see the other side of the street because of it.

My back roof leaked, it's never done that before!

Telford's getting it now.
