Lightning over a street in Snodland Taken on my final day living in Kent, a spectacular thunder storm passed overhead during the final stages of packing.  Mostly brilliant sheet lighting and impressive sonorous thunder, this photograph captured some fork lightning just coming out of the cloud base to the top left of the picture.
