More rumbles in West Laois, seems to be several different cells forming over the midlands area.

Super-Rush

Scratch that. Nice couple of flashes.

Looks like an active cell heading in to North Kildare and pushing on toward Co Dublin.

Thunder here near Arklow

Kinnegad area showing rain rates of about 150mm per hour. Lightning strikes between there and heading towards the Trim direction are quite frequent. Quite a nasty storm

Short lived but the best storm I've had here in years. Right over us. One strike must have been very close as the house shook with the thunder. Came out of nowhere and the rain and hailstones made the road look like a river for a moment!

It seems to be tracking north-east.
Maybe toward the Airport.
