It was in Reading area earlier, by the look of it, its about quadroupled its size in the last 3-4 hours.... Covers the best part of 80-90 miles at the moment

Fantastic storm! I haven't seen one like that for a good few years.

Some nice forks - but even more impressive sheet lighning :nod:

It cut my garage clearence short - it was nice of it to give me 20 mins of rumbling notice before it started to rain, managed to get everything back in the garage in time lol :)

I has driving from Bristol to Newport about 8pm and it was immense. the thunder and lightning was cool. but just gone out in the car and now the clock on my main dial set is not working, neither is my stereo....

Any ideas where to start looking for the fault or what could have got wet to cause these to things to fail?

That is your sterio fuse mate :nod:

Is your inside light working ?

I would say it's unrelated though.
