Thunderstorm ??

Post by Dyched » Thu Aug 17, 2017 12:38 am

About 5 mins ago as I was watching tv the sky lit up and a few seconds later a big thunder or plane noise lasted about 10 seconds. Absolutely no rain or nothing since. Rather strange.

I noticed a big flash and nothing else - no idea what it was

We got the rain here in Blackpool.

I spent a couple of hours checking if the roof maintenance last week had been successful. All good though.

Sometimes it's hard living in a property that's 150 years old. :)
