    Blue flashes reported over Belfast at 7am this morning on Twitter. Given the torrential rain I heard a few hours ago it could well be lightning but the BBC apparently sayin there was no reported lightning at that time.

    Could of been power flashes due to the high wind recorded at the time?

    The lightning recorders only register c-g lightning, so it still could have been c-c lightning
