Yes, we were invaded late yesterday afternoon
DD and I were up last night, after we'd seen the fox, watching the lightning streaking across the sky before the thunder and rain came much later.
Had a storm
about half an hour ago which brought the temperature down to almost 66F from 70F - it's now back up to 68F ( 20C ) and
and breezy

Heck of a storm last night. I got up at 2am to watch it for a while. Clouds were flashing all over the place and some of the thunder was awesome.

Guess we were lucky last night - little bit of rain about 3 am but no storm.

Had no rain or thunder here today at all so far. Thursday thunder here was a damp squib. Being cheated out of a good display.

Kev, it was like your pic here today.
First real rain we've actually had for a fortnight and it chucked it down, then the sun came out and the temp. rose to 75F and then it chucked it down again. And there was a lot overnight.
Topped up the pond a treat
Fortunately none fell on Lord's
