    Yep, can confirm lots of thunder and some lightning in Clare. Actually the most thunder i've heard in 6.5yrs of living in Ireland. It's currently pouring down. I also saw a tornando funnel cloud around 12.30

    Strikes from those news cells near the Waterford/Tipp border. Multicell import from Wales is about halfway across and still active.

    That looks tasty. Possible further convection as it hits land?

    Looks to be fizzling a bit on radar but new cells are popping up on the eastern side.

    Not amounting to much here just outside Wexford Town. Went very dark, cars driving with lights on, but now we have 'normal' rain rather than the torrential downpour it looked as if we were going to get. No sign of lightening or thunder.

    Damn, missed that, must have been looking the wrong way! Didn't see any ground strikes, seemed to be all sheet lightning within the clouds.
