Broody Thunderstorm - Taverham, Norwich. 15 June 2009

The first real storm of 2009 in Norfolk. This broody thunderstorm hung around for 2-3 hours this afternoon, with a rather vivid lightning display, only spoilt by being daytime - this would've looked far more spectacular at night! This was accompanied by some eerie sounding thunder as it echoed around the clouds for several miles.

The first couple of clips are of the thunder as the storm approached. At the end of the video one of the local blackbirds starts singing as the storm retreats.

@ianmann5 We don't tend to get very many here in Andover either. I guess it's because the town is situated in a valley and they tend to go round the outside edge, so we only get the tail-ends.
