    Mad powerful lightning.

    Nope. I have 4 witnesses. I on ICQ, one was just in the car with me and the other was out earlier in it. Then me. All say behind the Wicklow mountains.

    Are you seeing forked lightning or what?

    No I think it was just some joe soap lightning, its gone now but the sound could be heard in around two seconds, with the speed of sound in air being 340m/s it was about 680m away.

    760 mph at sea level. ISA temp and conditions. I think wicklow has the real deal lightning-wise and you guys are just jealous. My accredited witnesses are shocked at your childish behaviour.
