Lightning storms batter south England and Wales

Storms across southern parts of England and Wales are expected to continue throughout Thursday morning, interrupting travel and potentially bringing the threat of flood.
Warnings remain in place for the south-west of England and Wales until 8am Thursday, the Met Office said, while a warning in south-east England was extended to 10am.
Commuters have reported facing delays as trains are held up on tracks while repairers work to reconnect power and The Met Office warned of “difficult driving conditions and some road closures”.
