Quite a superstorm indeed... rivalling 16th September 2005, and 26 November 2003 of recent years. The greatest asset today was the impressiveness of how thick the forked lightning was, and the decibel readings were very extreme.
Was oh so close to recording it on camera
Flash flooding in parts of Auckland this afternoon

Yes.. but it was highly concentrated with voltage. Which makes it look bigger03 Stormchaser wrote:Dont quite get what u mean?? Lightning is only a couple of cm thick??Foggy Hamilton wrote: The greatest asset today was the impressiveness of how thick the forked lightning was,
Here's an example of what I saw today, but closer and during the day.

Skies starting to 'activate' again, isolated heavish showers still lingering in the southwest.

Do you mean the duration of the bolt Foggy?like it dances 2 or three times instead of one quick strike.
Rain here and still raining good for gardens indeed stock up for rest of summer 10.2mm so farr and with more rain at the end of the week
It should hopefully be our turn sometime within next month to get a beast like the NI storm today but time can only tell.
Cheers
