Location is Cambridgeshire.

A mate of mine rang me from the London-Wakefield train at the time to
ask me about the storm, as he was crawling from signal to signal
between Sandy and St Neots - but my phone was out of action!

I was sat in Tescos car park, St Neots, having lunch around 13:00 to
13:30. It was a very impressive storm, I was keeping an eye on the
pylons and cranes near the power station expecting to see them take a
strike, fortunately they didn't.

Hope you and your neighbour get sorted soon, plenty of scope for a bit
of d-i-y maybe.
