There was a massive thunderstorm over Eastleigh on the south coast of England today, it lasted for over 30 minutes, that is quite a considerable amount of time for a thunderstorm over this area, normally we might just get 1 or 2 rumbles but this was impressive! the frequency of lightning was quite high, about once every 50 seconds there was a smaller storm an hour earlier further south, i only saw 1 bolt of lightning. from that one. this storm was mostly cloud to cloud lightning but there was a few cloud to ground strikes.
