I've not experienced thunder and lightning for soooo long.
Its absolutely pissing it down and this is probably the best i've ever heard thunder. I'm sure i could feel the floor of my house shake.

I love it.

There is about 3 seconds between the lighning and the thunder. Does that mean the storm is about 3 miles away?

Only problem is, my sky signal has gone

Nah you hear the thunder after because the speed of sound is much slower than light

I stopped for a while then it came back on again. Now its stopped again.

Kind reminds me of twister with the sudden weather changes and the eerie lack of wind, then crazy wind and rain.

The speed of sound (760 mph, 1224 km/h) is very much less than the speed of light (186,000 mp/s, 300,000 km/s). So you see a lightning flash almost immediately it happens while the sound can take several seconds to reach an observer. If you count the gap between the lighting and the thunder, you can tell how far away the storm is. For every kilometre count 3 seconds, for every mile count 5 seconds. So if you count 15 seconds, the storm is 5 km or 3 m away from where you are.

so 3 seconds would be 1km or about 5/8th of a mile away

We had some seriously crazy storm here last night, 3-5am. It was weird, constant rumbling, and constant flashes. No breaks at all for nearly the whole 2 hrs. Never seen anything like it
