Indeed! That was something to hear this thunder and to see these lightnings almost at the end of October! At least, where I live near Paris, there was no hail, knowing that it was not the region the most impacted, far from it.
From this French source, they now say -according to Keraunos, the French observatory for tornadoes and violent storms- that 53.699 lightnings were detected in France on yesterday September 20th.
Hereafter the number of lightnings on the whole day depending on the department:

Hurricane Roslyn, a Category 4 storm, heads for Mexico's Pacific coast
Hurricane Roslyn grew to Category 4 force on Saturday as it headed for a collision with Mexico's Pacific coast, likely north of the resort of Puerto Vallarta.The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Roslyn's maximum sustained winds had increased to 130 mph (215 kph) by midday Saturday, and it was expected to grow still further.
The storm was centered about 155 miles (250 kilometers) south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes — the point of land jutting into the Pacific south of Puerto Vallarta — and moving north-northwest at 8 mph (13 kph).
The forecast called for Roslyn to begin shifting to a northward movement and then northeast, putting it on path that could take it close to Cabo Corrientes and the Puerto Vallarta region on Saturday night or early Sunday before making landfall in Nayarit state on Sunday morning.

Firefighters called to flooding across London after storm batters southern England
Firefighters took hundreds of calls on Sunday as a storm battered London, including about flooding across the capital as well as fallen trees and telephone wires.
The London Fire Brigade took more than 780 calls on Sunday, not all of them weather related, as strong winds and heavy rains hit the capital.
Dramatic footage showed Londoners running for cover from the elements.
A London Fire Brigade spokesman said it had “calls to a brick wall on Hungerford Road in Islington which collapsed after being damaged by the storm, multiple calls to flooding across London, trees and telephone wires in precarious positions and a large corrugated roof which had blown into the rear of a building in Croydon damaging the brick work and leaving debris in a precarious position”.
Trains were cancelled on some routes including on Southeastern, and London Overground services were also partly suspended due to “obstructions on the track" at West Croydon and in Theobalds Grove.
Heathrow Airport also experienced delayed flights due to the weather. The Met Office had put in place a yellow storm warning covering London until 5am Monday.

● Paraguay
LATAM plane arrived destroyed at destination with one engine down and a broken windshield
The plane left Santiago de Chile and was bound for Asunción, but was diverted to Foz do Iguazú due to weather conditions. On its return to Paraguay, it suffered breakage and turbulence that caused panic among passengers. The storm had also caused flooding in Asunción.
A truly terrifying trip was made by 48 passengers who departed from Santiago de Chile to Asunción (Paraguay) when the aircraft flew through the strong storm that was developing in the Guarani capital.
According to information provided by Paraguayan media, the plane was supposed to land at Luque airport (near Asunción) but was diverted due to weather conditions and arrived at Foz do Iguazú (Brazil).
After a couple of hours, the aircraft started its journey to the Paraguayan capital and was confronted with the storm. While the reasons for this decision are being investigated, it was confirmed that the aircraft arrived with one engine down, the windshield broken and the "nose" destroyed.
"I was looking for a way to protect it from impact," the passenger added. It was then that the pilot warned that he was going to crash land. "It was endless," the woman added.

London weather: Capital hit by flash flooding amid torrential downpours
Emergency services have responded 45 flooding incidents across London as heavy rain from Storm Claudio hit during the morning rush-hour.
London Fire Brigade received a number of calls from people trapped in their cars, as well as property flooding.
Flood warnings have been issued by the Met Office and Environment Agency across England, including in west London near Ruislip, Wembley and Harrow, and in north London near Waltham and Cheshunt.
A yellow rain warning has been issued for southeast England, with the Met Office warning that flooding on roads will make journey times longer. Up to 30mm of rain is expected.
The downpours have been described as “biblical” by some commuters. One driver on Twitter said they are “probably the wettest and worst conditions I’ve ever driven in”.
A motorist became stuck inside his car as he drove through floodwaters on the A41 at Hendon Way, having to scramble out of the driver’s seat and on to the top of his car, before abandoning his vehicle.
Some train services have also been cancelled or delayed.
“Due to heavy rain flooding the railway between Fulwell and Hampton, all lines are blocked,” Southwestern Rail said in an update.
