Storms today

Today was the first time I have flown since my avionics refit when there was serious weather about.

I flew from Biggin to Chateauroux spending most of the time dodging between classic, anvil shaped CBs, with tops in the 15-18,000 band.

My WX-500 reported a total of five strikes the whole day, though I tested it repeatedly and it claimed to be hunky dory.

Was anyone flying in that area (ie between London and mid-France) that can tell me whether:

a) the CBs weren't big enough to produce cells

or

b) My new WX-500 is crap?

Thank you.
