I’ve been on edge all day since my neighbours warned me yesterday…my weather app has been predicting thunderstorms since lunchtime…got everything fully charged in case…
Had only a smattering of rain so far and loved standing outside with bare feet and bare shoulders…
But I think it’s passed over us and I’m relieved
Hope everyone else are all ok too…
Apologies about the random border collie pic…thought I had only uploaded lightening photos 
sorry x
Great photos Helen - what’s your secret for catching the lightning?
Massive storm during the night here in Paris - just went for my morning jog along the Seine and a whole tree has been uprooted, blocking an entire lane of the road!
Ditto🤔
would this help?
Last nights storm went over 24350 - not as big as expected but lost power for a good five hours - We switched everything off as it started to go off and on a few times. watched it coming on the lightening app i found on my phone
I think Michael Jackson had one of those 
Oh no looks like it was a lovely tree too!
I was actually outside on the way to the shower room (don’t ask!) at around 11.30 last night and there as just a sudden out of nowhere wind that came up - a bit freaky!
Calm conditions followed by a sudden wind from variable directions are often followed by thunder and lightning about 30 minutes later…
Indeed - and that’s whence I dredged up my piece of met trivia!
It was pretty bad here with a lot of squall’s and heavy rain, some of the thunder claps had all the kittens hiding under the sofa.
I was asleep with my earplugs in by then so not sure if we had it or not
Funny, we’ve not had anything like that here in the 6 years until last year and this year it has happened a few times. Odd.
Snoring husband per chance 
It was a lovely peach tree, but my other half was going to replace it as he suspected the trunk was ‘dodgy’ Maybe Grahams’ glue would have been useful 
thankfully this year was not a good crop!
