Thought this was cool. I've not looked into how it's done, satellites perhaps ?
There's a lot of storms over Britain at the moment. Looks like Suffolk is being hit today.

I like. :thumbsup: 8)
That makes many of us, really. :D
I was out and about yesterday during a
VERY intense thunderstorm/flash flood here, so was unable to view it via the lightning map, but I imagine it would have been very thrilling to do so.
As a side note, the street I live on was completely submerged by at least 6 inches of rapidly flowing water just one house away from our property, while the road that I take to get home actually was closed by not only flowing water, but also by nearly a foot of sand/silt that had covered the pavement for about a third of a city block in length. Also, the main street through town became a raging river for about a half hour, covering multiple lanes with water, mud and debris up to two feet deep. :o
And yes, I was
OUT in that weather! :D :thumbsup:
