Almost the entire country is under a code orange weather warning for thunderstorms and heavy rain and hail (up to 2cm in diameter)
I have never heard thunder quite like this - there is an almost continuous rumbling in the skies.
Here's the main page of the Royal Meteorological Service website - check out the number of lightning strikes

Interesting - I can't see any of that here at Schiphol. beyond some rain.
For some reason some flights continue to take off, some flights are delayed, quite a few are cancelled....
