Huge lightning strike illuminates Dundee skyline

An eyewitness captured the moment a dramatic lightning strike twisted through the sky over the Scottish town of Dundee on Monday (August 15).

The lightning can be seen sending several bolts in opposite directions, which in turn illuminated the stormy sky.

Below, a church spire is silhouetted against the lightning flashes.

Britain is facing flash floods and heavy thunderstorms following the declaration of a drought, the Met Office warned in a news release on Monday.
