Lightning 8km to the south of Galway City. Sky gone very dark... would say north Clare/Burren is getting a nice hit and seems to be heading this way...

Lumi · 20-05-2014 5:11pm

Lightning flashing out over the bay in Galway city - inky black skies over the town

EDIT: we have thunder

redsteveireland · 20-05-2014 5:14pm

Just some rumbles here East of Galway City, fairly cleared the kids off the street!

Rikand · 20-05-2014 5:22pm

Flashes of lightning and long rumbles of thunder north of Athlone, around lough ree. Anyone around Hodson bay or glasson should be getting a good show!

Storm 10 · 20-05-2014 5:35pm

Unrel lightning in Galway

redsteveireland · 20-05-2014 5:36pm

It has arrived, passing to the West of my location. Nice bright flashes and a few long rumbles.

Mad alright. Damn inconsiderate Thunderstorm, interrupting my study!
Seems to be still going in the distance. Must look through the video now.

Hooter23 · 20-05-2014 5:52pm

My dog started barking at the thunder pretending to be brave while hiding in his box :pac:

Omg biggest flash there and loudest bang... Galway

fifilarue · 20-05-2014 5:52pm

just E of Ballinasloe, looking W about 5 mins ago-very disappointed as it seems to have by-passed us.

It's hammering down with rain now. I spoke too soon.
