Very loud and bright lighting strike at about 16:25 - made me jump out
of my skin! No previous suggestion of thunderstorm apart from heavy rain
- which in this kind of weather did make me wonder about thunder.

Another about 3km away at about 16:35 - and a few distant rumbles since.
Sounded like they were moving Worcester way - can anyone confirm that?

Yes, I heard the same one!

Had me worried because I was rendering out a very processor intensive
video at the time and having the electric cutting out would have been
the absolute last thing that I would have needed!

A few rumbles of thunder up in Droitwich 16:30-ish. About 10mm rain - but
picked my wife up from Pershore and they had had lots of torrential rain
~17:00-17:30 with roads flooded...
