A map shows the true extent of Merseyside's storm as lightning bolts hit the region.
Thunderstorms continued across Merseyside last night, lighting up the skies above.
Over the past couple of days, the city has been battered by a phenomenon known as "silent" or "heat" lightning.
Heat lightning describes the faint flashes of lightning on the horizon from distant thunderstorms which don't seem to have accompanying sounds of thunder.

Experts at Lightningmaps.org revealed the true extent of lightning, with areas across Sefton and North Liverpool appearing worst-hit.
This comes, as the Met Office has now extended its weather warning for thunderstorms until Monday, August 17.
They said: "Areas of showers and thunderstorms associated with a hot and humid air mass stranded across the southern half of the UK are expected to continue through Friday, and not solely during daylight hours.
"Many areas encompassed by this warning will miss the thunderstorms altogether, but where they occur, heavy rain (20-30mm in an hour, and possibly as much as 50mm in 2 to 3 hours), frequent lightning, and in some places large hail are all potential hazards.
"The greatest chance of impactful showers is expected to be in the southern half of this warning area, where afternoon showers are more likely to be slow moving and prolonged."
People across the region have been kept up late by the incredible weather, often tweeting about their sightings.
