A family with a young child had a miraculous escape after their home was struck by lightning.
Terrifying storms battered the UK as this week's heatwave gave way to heavy rain and thunder overnight.
In North Ayreshire in Scotland, bolts blasted a hole in the roof of a house, while a nearby house caught fire, the Daily Record reports.
A family with a five-year-old are understood to have had to flee after their roof collapsed.
A neighbour said the force of the blast was so strong, she first feared her own home had been hit.
She said: “We had a window open and the impact made stuff in the room fall over and the blinds actually lifted away from the window into the room.
“Absolutely terrifying experience and my heart goes out to the family across the road who did get hit."
Yesterday evening hailstones the size of £2 coins battered parts of Leeds and Sheffield.
And there's more bad weather to come, forecasters have warned.
The Met Office said there is a risk of flooding in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland today due to "heavy showers and prolonged rain".
Showers are also forecast for much of England and Wales, with temperatures expected to be between 19C to 21C.
Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern said "most places" will see rain at some point during the day, but it will become "more persistent" in western Scotland and Northern Ireland.
He said: "Further south there will be some dryer interludes, some sunshine even. It is in the south where the best of the drier weather will be at times.
"For all areas it is going to be breezy and it will feel much cooler, with temperatures 10C or so lower than on Friday afternoon."
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain for most of Scotland and Northern Ireland between 9am and 10pm on Saturday.
It said up to 20mm of rain could fall per hour in the areas covered by the warning, with up to 40mm falling over a "few hours".
Sunday is forecast to see rain and gusts of up to 50mph hit coastal areas in north Wales and north west England, while remaining "breezy" further inland, Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said.
