That boom of thunder earlier startled everyone of us in the exam hall in Croker. Shame it was just the one clap. Here's hoping for more in Dublin.

Lightning and thunder overhead Ballinrobe. Power dropping out. Just had a torrential hail/downpour also.

Dollseyes

Hearing Rumbles of thunder outside Ballina most if the afternoon. Sun is shining, but can see black sky approaching.

OldRio

What a storm has just gone by. I was about to post and then a flash of lightning. Lost power for a while. Still rumbling and lightning. It's lasted about 15 minutes. Biblical rain now.
Location in South Leitrim near Ballinamore. Storm heading westwards.

Finally, a direct hit. Torrential rain and hail. Thunder rolling away,no good vantage point to see strikes.

OldRio

Vantage points ?

I'm behind the sofa cowering with the dogs. That was scary.

Well that was interesting 40 minutes of thunder and lightening including a direct hit. Storm heading more northerly now. Cavan and Fermanagh area.

Pretzill

Forked lightening and massive window shaking thunder the last hour south sligo - lecky went about 40 mins ago no sign of it coming back -

redsteveireland

Now that was a decent storm. Fork lightning, hail, flash flooding. Had to go out and pick up a friend who's car had broken down, he asked me did I mind? I ran out the door!
