Yep it went on for ages. Kept me up for a good hour made me panic about my rabbits in the garden being in a metal cage!

Pink denotes rain intensity on radar, only the east coast electrified at low level - in the west (glasgow) once it moved up the campsie fells and then loch lomond it sparked. There were the odd bolts but it was the east that took the hit and the same on Thursday

see below at 4-5 am in morning

I can only assume that we all slept through all of this and it dried up by morning because according to these it definitely hit here . We did have the industrial fan on setting 2 last night which is roughly the decibels of a light aircraft taking off.

There was one lightning strike in our area that sounded like a bomb went off, there was basically no gap between the lightning or the thunder either so I assume it struck close by but yeah, possibly the scariest storm I've ever witnessed and I usually love storms. I think we were pretty much at the centre of it though.
