I live in Essex and have just finished watching the lightning.
It was pretty good but I would have preferred forked lightning.
The thunder was impressive!
I grew up with a mother who was terrified of storms; she used to put me in the cupboard under the stairs every time there was thunder and lightning.
I grew up being scared of the same thing.
Until I had my son, when I knew I couldn't perpetuate the problem.
We watched storms, saw brilliant forked lightning of various colours. I was hooked! Swallowed my fear and helped my son at the same time.
Good question. Bring on the next storm!

I am in South Essex and at the moment it is flashing and banging. Some of the flashes are really bright. It is bucketing down as well with quite a wind blowing.Storm appears to be going from West to East, out into the Thames estuary and Channel.A big PS> I have since read the other answers above. Many refer to lightening!! Is this an American spelling of the correct English lightning?

Yes I love it too, the raw power of nature. Sheet lightning at night is absolutely phenomenal here, like a massive fireworks display.

Yeh it was here in south wales earlier. Yeh, i love it, i actually find it comforting and soothing in a wierd sort of way, reminds me of how nature how has dominance over everything and that most of the things we worry about dont really matter.
