No idea why I did that weird/creepy little laugh after the 2nd flash, didn't realise until watching back through!
I wouldn't worry about it. I have been known to literally start crying with sheer excitement when thunder is in the air. Even I will admit that that is just a bit too weird!0 -

Hmmmm...it seemed promising about 8pm - it started to rain and the wind got up.
But all we got were gusts to 35kph (at the around 8pm) and the total rain was 0.6mm!
Damp squib here I'm afraid.
It was all over before midnight; temp drop from 10c at 9.30pm to 6C at 11.30.

had a similar situation earlier, my friend 400 yards down the road had power and the road over the wall had power. weirdest night ever
And the lightening tracker shows the spark over the southside, more over Donnybrooke.
AA Roadwatch: *CORK CITY* A lightning strike in the western part of Cork City last night has resulted in a large number of traffic lights being out of action. Lights are out on the South City Link Rd by the Park n’ Ride, at the Bishopstown Bar in Bishopstown, on the Western Rd by UCC, also at Victoria Cross by the bank and on Model Farm Rd and the Western Rd."
One giant rumble.

Wild Bill, is that your own anenometer you've been quoting lately? If so then I would imagine it is located in a garden or something, and not the standard 10 metres, away from high obstacles, etc. Siting of instruments is highly important, especially anenometers, and urban gardens are very poor locations for an accurate representation of the local conditions, due to houses, trees, sheds, etc. disrupting and blocking the flow.
I would recommend that you move it to the chimney if possible, as at least there it will be somewhat more representable of what's going on, which last night, was pretty wild, and a lot more than 35 kph. My measured speeds tripled when I moved mine from the garden to the chimney.0 -

We drove through an area yesterday which was badly affected by the 2009 flooding. After the rain on Monday the fields are all flooded. My friend made a short video which I am uploading as I type.
I would say the residents are praying for a cold winter.
here it is.

Yup.
It's in the middle of an area of grass (I hesitate to say "lawn"!) and is about 3m above ground.
Problem is it appears to be stuck to the thermometer and the rest of the gear, which I am told should be located 1.2m above the ground.
Any ideas on how to resolve this are welcome!
It is a Davis Vantage Pro2 - if that means anything to you old weather dogs.0 -
