@ronstirling actually it was really bad my house was struck by that lightning and my tv dvd sky that was just put in all blew and also blue sparks were traveling along our floor boards so we had to stand on the sofa:S

@ronstirling If he's a British citizen then BBC can't do fuck with their copyright.

This was one of the best Storms to hit the West of Scotland in over 15 years, at it's peak the lightning detector was recording a strike rate of 145 s/m, we tracked along the northern side it for 10mi.

Great footage Ron

I remember this storm very well, I stayed in east kilbride, I remember being at a friends house whos window looked out to the south, and i just remember glancing out the window and pooping myself lol. I didnt know much about cloud formations but it was the blackest clouds I have ever seen in my life. And then once I got home a fork of lighting took out a tree outside my house and set multiple car alarms off
