The South West is currently preparing for Storm Eustice to hit - but almost exactly two years ago to the day there was another storm battering the region.
It has been two years since an intense, singular lightning bolt struck Bristol. The dazzling phenomena hit Bishopston, just off Gloucester Road, on February 16 at around 9pm, before the sound of crashing thunder could be heard soon after.
The lightning strike was heard as far away as Portishead despite being hitting Bishopston, around 10 miles away. One man, Geoff from Horfield, said the lightning bolt looked like a fireball explosion.
