Maybe it was stuck between the North and South Downs although looking at the map I'd guess Horsham was in the middle of it. Because it was cloudy we didn't see individual lightning bolts just the sky kept lighting up and continuous rolls of thunder and it kept on for about 2 or 3 hours.MingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:09 amFirst we knew about it was when our female Staff arrived on the bed with a thud freaking out at about 0100ish. I wondered if it was due to thunder and a few seconds later the room lit up. It rumbled over us pretty quick and we had a lot of rain but no power outages.Count Steer wrote: ↑Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:53 am Got up. Had a cup of tea...went back to bed. We had the mother and father of electrical storms last night. Quite a light show. It seemed to approach from the coast so Ming and Moofo probably were in the thick of it. Fortunately we seemed to stay on the edge for most of it but, as expected, after a few bangs and flashes the electricity went off and was up an down like a fiddler's elbow half the night.

It was bright enough you could tell when it was going even in bed with eyes closed!
