Oh we're used to it...this is London.. people are generally noisy and inconsiderate... however I yearn for a quieter existence. The English countryside beckons...
We get a lot of storms like this in the SE area of the US.I live in Tenn. near Nashville and it storms like this a lot in the spring and summer.This is fantastic footage.
It's salf hoursunningly beautiful. Amazing how the positive and negative charges never seem to be spent, it keeps on going. We just had one like this yesterday in Ireland. The thunder was constant without interruption for one and a hours. Not to mention the torrents of rain. I love to watch it, ...but... "over there!"
We had a bad storm yesterday here in Birmingham...was at fun fair with kids in cannon hill park when it hit...worst rain I've seen in years...scared my kids but we all got home safe...Bad flooding as well...great footage..we had a bit of lightening but not as spectacular as yours..
I saw on the news about Birmingham, I'm glad you're all safe. The weather certainly seems a little crazy at the moment. Thanks very much for watching 😀
The storm was too far away for Richard to hear the thunder; what he got treated to was a side view of the storm as it moved, the lightning flashing within. The Anvil usually points the direction the storm is going, a bit like a finger pointing the way. Lightning that is too distant to be heard is called 'heat lightning' due to it being associated with warm weather.
Saw this from south east kent yesterday evening. I got an interesting vid. Was most probably just a plane but I got footage of something in the storm. Thought it was some sort of spaceship recharging lol
Fantastic storm. Not often you see ones this videogenic in the UK, with the huge approaching storm cloud and almost Biblical lightning flashes and bolts coming through it.
What a magnificent structure of nature. It was surreal. You had a much better view than I did, too many buildings in the way to be able to really appreciate it's marvel. The almost nonstop lightning is breathtaking - nature does fireworks much better than any mortal being! Lovely video mate. Thank you very much!
Wow, that is just incredible.... with all going on in the world, nature shows who's the boss!..... To see a supercell from a distance, that cloud must at least be reaching 40'000 ft...... Thanks for the upload
I was under that lot in Milton Keynes. Have footage from bring up Campbell Park near the CentreMK. It lasted for 3 hours, constant lightning and thunder with torrential rain a large hail. Stood out in it all at the Pinnacle, then headed to MC Donalds in the Xscape around 10:30 pm soak to my skin with water sloshing out of my shoes as I walked. XD
Very true in deed hope you got to sleep. Last time I saw a storm like this was back in slough in 1995 at a fun fair not a sound just sky lighting up. And your right the show was better well done friend
We got a grandstand view of this from my location in Hertfordshire. Absolutely bonkers. Never seen ever like it. The thunderstorm the previous night had been impressive but in some ways this was more so, purely for being able to see the storm structure and the sheer frequency of the lightning.
I was watching the video of yours from the 24th July 2019 and was impressed. BUT OMG!!! This is absolutely fantastic and totally awesome - the amazing beauty of mother nature, even in the UK. Thank you so much for taking the time to document events like this, it's very special and you're extremely lucky to witness it.
I could see this from 75 miles away in Kent. It looked amazing. I was seeing it from the same angle you did, but just much further back. Thanks for the up-close view.
Excellent footage yet again, a fully formed medium level storm with enough energy to power Paris for a week. Pity the 'party' was spoiling the ambience.
I know, the party did spoil it a bit for me. I did consider wiping the sound and doing a narration on top but obviously I didn't! Thanks again for watching and sharing your knowledge 😀
We got this storm here in Norfolk when it was dying it came in the early hours of this morning at about 2am on the 30th lots of rain and thunder after thunder
Nice catch. The cloud is lovely with the large anvil shape on the left side, Thor having a good day. We haven't had our turn yet here in Yorkshire. Shared on G+
Wow! Amazing storms you are experiencing there. I don't think I've ever seen such an electrical storm without thunder. Sitting here watching your video full screen reminded me of my Greenpoint, Brooklyn apartment which I left 5 years ago. It was in LaGuardia's flight path, and the old Polish neighborhood had been transformed into a hipster haven. The inconsideration of my neighbors used to irritate me much. Although I miss the diversity of culture and people, I'm happy to now be in the country. I still get to the city every 6 weeks or so. :)
It looks like IntraCloud lightning is happening here in the higher clouds, which would make it too far away to hear the thunder from the earth. It's not as uncommon in the UK as many think
Nice vid. I'm collecting (noting rather than stealing) footage of this event (which was countrywide) as I did a study on it. It wasn't climate change, but rather just top-notch perfect conditions for a severe storm environment, which are rarely seen in any one location in the UK. The storm was in a back-building environment which meant its apparent movement is backwards to the flow of the wind (hence why it looked like it was coming from the north in a southeasterly flow). There were a few funnel clouds/tornado reports from this particular cell. You captured a rare show!
had a storm like this a few months ago it was one of the coolest things I've seen i didn't have a camera at the time but your video was just amazing :D
Nice footage of the storm! It died as it reached us in Buckinghamshire, just like a switch was flipped to off. So impressed that we this two nights running!
Thanks so much for watching 😀. It did fizzle out very quickly I noticed, just after it got dark. The flashes stopped and the clouds seemed to disperse. I wonder if we'll have another tonight?
Richard Hammond you had a better view than I did, too close to see the inner cloud bolts, just vigorous flashing for me! When I can I will post my video, which I shot both in 4k and high speed HD. Thanks for shooting the video and posting. It was seen from the south coast, margate and other places around 80 or 90 miles from it!
I live high up in the Tennessee mountains so once in a blue moon I will have this cross over my property it is like a silent orchestra, and you can literally feel the vibrations of the electricity. Sadly, consideration of others has somewhat disappeared in this world. Thank you for sharing =)
So glad you caught this, i was in SE london getting pretty much the same view, like saturday nights escapades, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. The mother ship is in there!!!
It reminded me of the movie Close Encounters. Very beautiful and awesome too. I've never seen anything like this either. Maybe it was the landing of the mother ship somewhere? 🤣🤣🤣
I watched this develop from one cloud into that from the Dunstable Downs. It produced a tornado as well one of he most amazing storms I have ever seen!!
I was within a few miles of this storm, just 5 miles north of Hemel Hempstead and it was truly spectacular. I recorded it in 4K and hope to post it soon. Thunder was virtually continuous for a good part of an hour albeit not that loud and although the storms tops passed overhead there was no rain. It was centred over Milton Keynes. It's nice to see it from further away so thanks for posting!
ok I just watched and commented on your other lightning vid. 2 lightning storms, now your just showing off hehe. I loved your comments on the party and the music so much I have now subscribed. Watching it just comming in at the beginnig its beautiful.
The perfect storm ⛈ perfectly showing the anvil. Braver than me Richard too scared to hang out my loft in a storm. It looked some way off though, maybe I should give it a try...
Blimey talk about noise pollution! Even if it were thundering, I don’t think you would hear it 😫 thank you for this amazing capture Richard, it’s surreal with that music in the back ground, actually could think I was in the Caribbean for a minute.
That's summer in London for you. People having parties with windows open without any thought for the neighbours. I'm afraid when we were younger we were probably guilty of doing this occasionally.
Richard Hammond UPDATE: 8/?/18 We recently just had one in Ohio, but unlike the one that you had, it was severe, we were drenched by rain and wind, we had trees down, but no injuries. The outages went all the way to my house, where we were the ONLY ones with electricity. We get a lot here in the U.S.
@@RichardandPaul No problem, I can't wait for another one! UPDATE: 08/21/18 I JUST SUBSCRIBED!!! 😄 also why would there be a party nearby while you are recording something beautiful?
Yes this lighting show was much better than the music party. Looks like a severe thunderstorm we get in the midwest of the USA during tornado season. Great video. Terrible music they should have been playing the Beatles.
Safe to say, these types of storms are pretty peculiar for London. The lovely anvil shape and super cell formation is something typical for May-June in places like Oklahoma, where there are Tornados. I’m assuming that storm produced a lot of hail and rain? I got lightning and a bit of rain, but I never saw the beautiful cloud formation depicted in this video.
That has to be geo engineered. I mean have you ever seen lightening with a perspective like this? Oh the things we don’t know....Last nights storm with out hardly any thunder was also a wonder. Thank you for posting this.
Thats very slow moving here in Scotland if your lucky enough to ever witness thunderstorms they pass within like 10 minutes, went to london alot when i was young but never seen any storms as such!
Its like you got all the lightening and we got all the rumbling thunder up here in the North! Loads of people saying it was like a base playing continuous, So strange Thanks for sharing this awesome vid! I can try and upload the actual sound if you want but it will probably take hours to upload its super long but ran out of memory after hour and half ish. We had a football match, kids shouting and fire engine sirens going off in the back ground and a party aswell kind of spoils it a bit but still awesome
Hermoso video amigo!!.. fijate exactamente en el minuto 5:00 aparece un ovni desde el lado derecho de la pantalla, y que atraviesa toda la tormenta!! saludos 😄😄😃
The weird thing is we could see this storm cell from Southampton which is about 70 miles away but right in the distance we could see it constantly lighting up
Connor Clark Due to the storm having a high cloud base, this can make it visible over longer distances. What a great storm though. I live on the Lincolnshire fens, this is where the storms come to die, leaving only cirrus cloud. Due to the cold North sea being not too far, and the land being so flat. There is nothing to stop the cool easterly winds killing off thunderstorm development.
Lovely heat lightning there Richard, I'm a teensy bit jealous as where I live, in Northeast England we had zilch over weekend. Btw, are you sure you aren't really Julian Clary? No insult intended whatsoever, just you sound so alike you could probably get a job as an impersonator! ;)
Thanks very much for watching 😀. You're certainly not the first person to say that and I'm sure you won't be the last. 🤣🤣 I take it as a compliment. He's done very well for himself.
Glad you got this one Richard. I saw it from Guildford, very active for UK. Like you, I couldn't hear a thing. If you go here: en.blitzortung/historical_maps.php?map=12 and select 27/05/2018 21:00 you'll see it was quite large and centred over south Bucks. Didn't move much and petered out as it got properly dark.
Thanks for watching 😀. Yes I noticed that it was north of me. And I also saw it get noticeably weaker as it got dark. Thanks very much for confirming that. 😀
I see this all the time in the spring and summer months here in the States. I never get bored. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks Dennis, I love a good storm. Thanks very much for watching 😀
That looked like a supercell.
Fantastic
Thankyou 😀 I'm pleased you enjoyed it 😀 thanks for watching 😀
God.
If you were on that plane going over you the view must have been amazing
...and probably very scary too 🤣🤣🤣
SM Aviation Just What I was thinking, mate.
I’d be moving outta there pretty quickly. Nice considerate neighbors I see.
Oh we're used to it...this is London.. people are generally noisy and inconsiderate... however I yearn for a quieter existence. The English countryside beckons...
I’ve never seen lightning like that in England myself very beautiful 🌞💫🌸
And we haven't seen anything like it since then.... I'm really hoping spring brings some more wild weather!
A very organised storm with a backsheared anvil which indicates a strong updraft! Nicely filmed! 👌🏼📸
You're very kind thankyou
We get a lot of storms like this in the SE area of the US.I live in Tenn. near Nashville and it storms like this a lot in the spring and summer.This is fantastic footage.
Thanks so much for watching 😀. I'm hoping we get more of them after this heat. Another of my subscribers is from Nashville.
Remarkable storm, there was a lot of electricity in those clouds!
It was amazing. Shame we've not had anything like it since then. Thanks for watching 😀
It's salf hoursunningly beautiful. Amazing how the positive and negative charges never seem to be spent, it keeps on going. We just had one like this yesterday in Ireland. The thunder was constant without interruption for one and a hours. Not to mention the torrents of rain. I love to watch it, ...but... "over there!"
oops there was a blip in my typing.....It should reat It's stunningly beautiful
The noise next door , if you could hear the thunder, is worse...hehe
Yes, this one was at a safe distance away. !! It was lovely to look at😀
I was recording the same storm you were! It certainly was amazing to watch! 😄☈
It was great wasn't it. Thanks so much for watching 😀
The weather direction was to the NW, so it was heading past you. Some sight though. Stunning in the twilight.
It fizzled out before it reached us. Thanks so much for watching 😀
We had a bad storm yesterday here in Birmingham...was at fun fair with kids in cannon hill park when it hit...worst rain I've seen in years...scared my kids but we all got home safe...Bad flooding as well...great footage..we had a bit of lightening but not as spectacular as yours..
I saw on the news about Birmingham, I'm glad you're all safe. The weather certainly seems a little crazy at the moment. Thanks very much for watching 😀
spectacular lightning, lightning in the uk is becoming more and more frequent.
The storm was too far away for Richard to hear the thunder; what he got treated to was a side view of the storm as it moved, the lightning flashing within. The Anvil usually points the direction the storm is going, a bit like a finger pointing the way.

Stunning footage, thank you so much for sharing x
I'm so pleased you enjoyed it 😀 thanks for watching 😀
Enjoying this immensely at 3"30 am, May 28, 2018, in Connecticut, US!!!
We get these once or twice in a summer, at leasr. We call it 'heat lightning'
Thanks so much for watching 😀 It's great to have you onboard!
Frenchblue8 We get this heavy intensity of lightning rarely in London, so it's quite amazing for us.
Thanks! I will get to London someday, soon, I hope;:)
Spectacular lightning show there, it almost looked similar to the Catatumbo lightning 😊
It was spectacular...I've never seen anything like it since then.
Fantastic storm. Not often you see ones this videogenic in the UK, with the huge approaching storm cloud and almost Biblical lightning flashes and bolts coming through it.
What a magnificent structure of nature. It was surreal. You had a much better view than I did, too many buildings in the way to be able to really appreciate it's marvel. The almost nonstop lightning is breathtaking - nature does fireworks much better than any mortal being! Lovely video mate. Thank you very much!
I was filming from the top of the house in the attic room which gives me a good view. I love the beauty of a storm too. Thanks so much for watching 😀
Wow, that is just incredible.... with all going on in the world, nature shows who's the boss!..... To see a supercell from a distance, that cloud must at least be reaching 40'000 ft...... Thanks for the upload
You said it... nature is truly awesome. Thanks for watching and I'm pleased you enjoyed it 😀

It was a shame we didn't hear any of the thunder as it was quite far away from us. Thanks for watching!
Love it! Can’t beat a good storm. Wow!
I totally agree. Thanks very much for watching 😀
Very true in deed hope you got to sleep. Last time I saw a storm like this was back in slough in 1995 at a fun fair not a sound just sky lighting up. And your right the show was better well done friend
Thank you 😀
Mother Earth's mothership cumulonimbus and lightning is so beautiful. I love Mother Earth
Beautiful! Thank You for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thank you for another great video. Sadly I missed it last night. But this video made up for it somewhat! 👍👏
The return of Thor
Mars Mann :))
We got a grandstand view of this from my location in Hertfordshire. Absolutely bonkers. Never seen ever like it. The thunderstorm the previous night had been impressive but in some ways this was more so, purely for being able to see the storm structure and the sheer frequency of the lightning.
Totally agree. In my 51 years I have never seen this before. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much. It certainly was an amazing sight and I've never seen anything like it since!
Who would have thought. Just looked it up and 10 to 15 miles is about as far as the thunder can be heard 👍
I know, I have learned so many things about thunder and lightning here... it's great. 😀
Great footage, Richard. The lightning in the clouds looks spectacular. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks very much for watching 😀 I am pleased you enjoyed it 😀
I could see this from 75 miles away in Kent. It looked amazing. I was seeing it from the same angle you did, but just much further back. Thanks for the up-close view.
You're welcome 😀 thanks for watching 😀
Had the same thought. Got couple vids myself from kent yesterday evening.
Excellent footage yet again, a fully formed medium level storm with enough energy to power Paris for a week. Pity the 'party' was spoiling the ambience.
I know, the party did spoil it a bit for me. I did consider wiping the sound and doing a narration on top but obviously I didn't! Thanks again for watching and sharing your knowledge 😀
Can you imagine if they could harness that power... incredible.
Would love to live that close to a airport i love watching planes. Great video 😁
So do I, but the noise gets a bit tiresome after a while. Thanks so much for watching 😀
It’s a beautiful thunderstorm cloud, nice film.
Thankyou for watching!
We got this storm here in Norfolk when it was dying it came in the early hours of this morning at about 2am on the 30th lots of rain and thunder after thunder
Excellent 😀 Thanks so much for watching this one 😀
Richard Hammond did this thunderstorm actually hit you or did it just go past in the distance
No it fizzled out after a short time.
Nice catch. The cloud is lovely with the large anvil shape on the left side, Thor having a good day. We haven't had our turn yet here in Yorkshire.
Shared on G+
Thanks very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Whereabouts in Yorkshire are you? Have you had warm weather? It's quite cool this morning here in London.

Yes people can be inconsiderate..
But once the windows were shut I couldn't hear them. Thanks so much for watching 😀

Your place is the perfect spot for filming. Nice catch!
Thankyou for watching!
I se this yesterday from Lewisham crofton park brockley and there was music playing as well
Thanks very much for watching 😀
Nice footage of the storm! It died as it reached us in Buckinghamshire, just like a switch was flipped to off. So impressed that we this two nights running!

I have subbed to your channel 😀
Richard Hammond it might be a little while, though there is one from last year. Many thanks for the subscribe it is much appreciated! Will do so back.
I live high up in the Tennessee mountains so once in a blue moon I will have this cross over my property it is like a silent orchestra, and you can literally feel the vibrations of the electricity. Sadly, consideration of others has somewhat disappeared in this world. Thank you for sharing =)
We’ll never see this again in our lifetime!!!???
I hope we do... maybe it will be worse next time? Thanks for watching 😀
Incredibly beautiful, thank you for sharing :-)
We had the opposite of this last week. Constant thunder for hours but no lightning. the storm did produce some torrential downpours though.
I'm currently dreaming of downpours... it's so hot today.
This is so craze this is very bad Richard thanks again for this video
You're very welcome 😀 thanks for watching 😀
Amazing thanks for sharing
I was right underneath that from Beckenham Bromley...
I will share my vid
Thanks so much for watching 😀
I have never seen anything like this! Another amazing upload. 😀
Thanks Ali... this is the first time I've witnessed this too. Incredible. I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😀
So glad you caught this, i was in SE london getting pretty much the same view, like saturday nights escapades, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. The mother ship is in there!!!
It reminded me of the movie Close Encounters. Very beautiful and awesome too. I've never seen anything like this either. Maybe it was the landing of the mother ship somewhere? 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much for watching 😀
David Icke reckons they were looking for the Penge Aldi....
2 for 1 on cava apparently.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Excellent 😀
Also in SE London, and lightening scared the crap out of me.
I watched this develop from one cloud into that from the Dunstable Downs. It produced a tornado as well one of he most amazing storms I have ever seen!!
It was amazing wasn't it?
I was within a few miles of this storm, just 5 miles north of Hemel Hempstead and it was truly spectacular. I recorded it in 4K and hope to post it soon. Thunder was virtually continuous for a good part of an hour albeit not that loud and although the storms tops passed overhead there was no rain. It was centred over Milton Keynes. It's nice to see it from further away so thanks for posting!
Excellent 😀 Thanks for watching this one 😀 I look forward to seeing your video 😀😀😀
I've subbed to your channel!
Steve Flitton are you going to post your clip?
Love the commentary.... awesome storm. Thanks Richard
I'm so pleased you enjoyed it 😀 thanks for watching 😀
Had the same thing over Southern New Jersey on the East Coast of U.S.
I bet it was bigger than this one? Thanks very much for watching 😀
I live in arizona and at the time right now tommorow were geting a storm and the day after a monsoon
Wow, I hope it's not too severe. Thanks for watching this one. I'm sure it was small compared to the ones you get over there.
Incredible storm! Very inconsiderate neighbor.
Hi Richard - wow you are getting treated by some fantastic storms. Amazing footage again sir :)
Thanks so much. I very much enjoyed it and very pleased to share again for your viewing pleasure 😀😀😀
That's amazing! Great capture 😁🌩
Thankyou 😊
Perfect one for great storm chaser adventure lol
ok I just watched and commented on your other lightning vid. 2 lightning storms, now your just showing off hehe. I loved your comments on the party and the music so much I have now subscribed. Watching it just comming in at the beginnig its beautiful.
Yes, I couldn't resist showing this one as it was so beautiful. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing 😀
The perfect storm ⛈ perfectly showing the anvil. Braver than me Richard too scared to hang out my loft in a storm. It looked some way off though, maybe I should give it a try...
It was pretty far off so I don't think I was in any danger. It was so stunning, I'm so pleased I saw it
That storm, I know at 9pm ish was around Maidenhead, I was seeing it from Sandhurst, again strange as no thunder at all
It was strange but plenty of people have pointed out to me that it's something that happens. Thanks for watching 😀
We had exact same storm in Hants for hour and half at least brilliant ⛈
Excellent 😀 Thanks for watching 😀
Wow I’m certainly living in the wrong part of London lol! Another great upload. Thanks for sharing Richard ❤️
Blimey talk about noise pollution! Even if it were thundering, I don’t think you would hear it 😫 thank you for this amazing capture Richard, it’s surreal with that music in the back ground, actually could think I was in the Caribbean for a minute.
That's summer in London for you. People having parties with windows open without any thought for the neighbours. I'm afraid when we were younger we were probably guilty of doing this occasionally.
Wow, very War of the Worlds. We had lots of thunder, but missed the rain.
Love War of the Worlds... I'm talking about the 70's Jeff Wayne version...the music would go well with this video! 😀
Fantastisch!!!
Thanks very much for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great video guys.
Many thanks
Omg how many do we have in the UK did you have one yesterday because yesterday was even Made there was a lot of thunder and huge lightning
There were some yesterday but I didn't see any in London.
Its now sunday and we have more coming in from the east
My oh my, that is one, sweet, BEATIFUL electrical thunderstorm!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀 thanks for watching 😀
Richard Hammond UPDATE: 8/?/18 We recently just had one in Ohio, but unlike the one that you had, it was severe, we were drenched by rain and wind, we had trees down, but no injuries. The outages went all the way to my house, where we were the ONLY ones with electricity. We get a lot here in the U.S.

@@RichardandPaul No problem, I can't wait for another one! UPDATE: 08/21/18 I JUST SUBSCRIBED!!! 😄 also why would there be a party nearby while you are recording something beautiful?
I know!! It was very inconsiderate of them.!!!
Yes this lighting show was much better than the music party. Looks like a severe thunderstorm we get in the midwest of the USA during tornado season. Great video. Terrible music they should have been playing the Beatles.
Tell me about it!! I couldn't hear it once I'd closed the windows. Thanks very much for watching 😀
Safe to say, these types of storms are pretty peculiar for London. The lovely anvil shape and super cell formation is something typical for May-June in places like Oklahoma, where there are Tornados.
I’m assuming that storm produced a lot of hail and rain? I got lightning and a bit of rain, but I never saw the beautiful cloud formation depicted in this video.
The storm never reached me. I only saw it from a distance. Thanks for watching 😀
Still no thunderstorms in Manchester! ☺
Whereabouts in Manchester are you from? I am originally from Cheshire, but my family originates from Manchester. Have a good storm free day 😀
Onde foi Gravada que Cidade.
That has to be geo engineered. I mean have you ever seen lightening with a perspective like this? Oh the things we don’t know....Last nights storm with out hardly any thunder was also a wonder. Thank you for posting this.

Beautiful videos of both storms m8, had 2 simular storms I recorded on 19th July last year and 5th July 2015 which I have uploaded to TH-cam
Hermoso video amigo!!.. fijate exactamente en el minuto 5:00 aparece un ovni desde el lado derecho de la pantalla, y que atraviesa toda la tormenta!! saludos 😄😄😃
Watching this on 27.05.2020
The weird thing is we could see this storm cell from Southampton which is about 70 miles away but right in the distance we could see it constantly lighting up
It was a beautiful sight. It reminded me of a movie special effect 😀
Richard Hammond it reminded me of a film like war of the worlds the way the lightning illuminated behind the clouds in front
Connor Clark Due to the storm having a high cloud base, this can make it visible over longer distances. What a great storm though. I live on the Lincolnshire fens, this is where the storms come to die, leaving only cirrus cloud. Due to the cold North sea being not too far, and the land being so flat.

Its my way saying you have done a great job of filming

Saw one not so long ago (friday) 😉😄
Spectacular. Did you actually get the storm in the end?
No, it never reached us.
This must be SE London, I filmed the same storm cloud from Brockley.
No, this is looking towards the North West. This storm developed over Buckinghamshire. I live in West London. Thanks for watching 😀
+Richard Hammond I sussed that out after I commented, when you pointed out the direction of Heathrow :-) me and my big mouth. Great video .
No worries, thanks again for watching 😀👍
Glad you got this one Richard. I saw it from Guildford, very active for UK. Like you, I couldn't hear a thing. If you go here: en.blitzortung/historical_maps.php?map=12 and select 27/05/2018 21:00 you'll see it was quite large and centred over south Bucks. Didn't move much and petered out as it got properly dark.
Thanks for watching 😀. Yes I noticed that it was north of me. And I also saw it get noticeably weaker as it got dark. Thanks very much for confirming that. 😀
Hey Richard. What a beautiful sight. We got the thunderstorms here in Northampton and got flooded really bad. How's London doing x
Thanks Anna, London is fine, no rain last night, just this beautiful spectacle. Sorry to hear about the flooding. Did your home get flooded?
