A powerful electrical storm crackled and rumbled over Burnham-On-Sea on Wednesday night, giving walkers along the town’s seafront an impressive light show.

The storm – which caused problems for several aeroplanes arriving at nearby Bristol Airport – also brought heavy localised rain to parts of the region.
