flashing in the sky

Dr Galen

can anyone else see the flashing in the sky tonight over what seems to be Dublin South West/Naas Rd area.
I'm in Kilmainham and can only see the flashes but not where its coming from. Can't hear thunder but is that what it is, or is it summat else.
Its too bright to be a crane i thinks, prob be something very obvious, but I'm too lazy to get up and go for a walk lol

Lightning perhaps? Been lots of thunderclaps and the weather is right for some storms..

Thought I saw a few blue flashes or something this evening. Although, I assumed it was a garda car going past or something but I would have heard the siren or the car.

Have yet to hear any thunder.

I remember seeing flashes on a few occasions, in the east, which I now know was lightning over the Irish Sea, and that was seeing it from the midlands, Speed of light, speed of sound no comparison.

You'd need a very keen ear to hear them raps!

Terry

stupid storm. i think it wrecked my sky+ box.

Nevyn

The storm was wonderfull, forked lightening and flashes streaking across the sky and lots of heavy rain.
It was great to stand out in.

LovelyHurling

There was a storm? right, clearly slept through that...

I hope the bunnies got shelter.
oh, and the homeless i suppose.

I noticed it last night but I didn't hear any rain or thunder to go along with it. I mentioned it to co-workers this morning and they all looked at me funny (I'm 85% sure this was because of my mentioning the light in the sky) so I'm glad I'm not the only person who saw this. I'm over by Heuston Station and I didn't know what to think or where it was.
