MO lightning data looks pretty awsome.

These storms have also affected SW Belgium. Flooding in some places
following heavy rain. In the village of Ename near Oudenaarde (south of
Ghent) "cars were floating in the streets" after a cloudburst. Storms and
flooding also around Kortrijk by the French border. Around Tournai
sandbags had to be placed around some houses to prevent the entry of
floodwater.

Dry in Ramsgate at the moment.


I just went out to look over Ramsgate harbour towards France/Belgium.
Couldn't see anything.

Went out last night (in shorts!) 1 minute to shop and back. Dry on the way
there and soaked on the way back. Just about the biggest raindrops i've ever
seen. Warm and HUGE! No lightning, just rain you could shower in. I'm amazed
drops that big hold together long enough to get that big and make it to the
ground in one peice.

No measurements sadly.

I think that was the probably the most I've seen in any 5min period on that
particular display.

The overnight storms across western Spain and Portugal looked equally
impressive.
