That one was very audible here. Lightning activity seems pretty low.

Distant thunder to the north. That storm might be heading your way David.

You might be right, hearing quite a bit now and getting louder

action ramping up a bit out over the gulf have seen a few awesome flashes out over towards tiri

Most of the lighting is north of here now, think it will slide down east of me...

Yep, some good flashes and distant rumbles out here (no flangs yet though

).

Lots of lightning and thunder east of me, not really close but still a nice show

KiwiWeather · Unread post by **KiwiWeather** » Mon 14/05/2012 18:47

Really bright flashes, WAY off to the south, south east, not the usual flicker but more like some one turning the light switch off and on. No more thunder heard since the small rumble at 17:36.

The live satellite link to Thames on Campbell live cut out, just before it cut out you could hear the thunder coming through the TV.

A snap of distant lightning from Mt Eden out over the Gulf.
