The pop star posted a video on Instagram with the caption: “Our home was struck by lightning just now. The loudest sound I’ve ever encountered. Alarms are sounding. This is absurd.”
Peter Andre has stated that his home was “hit by lightning” during Sunday night’s thunderstorms in the south and east of England.
The pop musician uploaded an Instagram video demonstrating the damage to his residence and calling the storm “crazy.”
He penned: “Our home was struck by lightning just now. The loudest sound I’ve ever encountered. Alarms are sounding. This is absurd.”
The video depicted damage to a chimney and brick fragments on the lawn below.
Andre added: “Thank God, Princess (his 15-year-old daughter) is fine. Although it is unclear whether her scream or the roof was louder.”
As swirling winds and torrential rain pummelled the capital city beginning in the late afternoon, loud thunderclaps could be heard.
A vehicle was spotted in Clapham, south London, with the top of a tree across its bonnet and windshield.
The tree’s trunk appeared to have split in two as it fell, with lighter-colored inner bark visible where it landed on the grass verge and pavement.
In the east, in Peckham, a guy was captured on film riding through floodwater, while another resident wore wellington boots as he passed stores.
Also impacted by flooding was King’s Cross.
Today is forecast to be largely moderate, although windy in many central and southern regions, and extremely windy near Channel shores.
This afternoon, most regions may anticipate a mix of sunshine and scattered showers, with thunder possible in the extreme south.
