Can see lots of flashes to my east here (in Dublin 16) and very distant thunder.

I presume the video camera is catching it all?

Not a night for sailing the boats to Holyhead. IFC took a direct hit a while ago, Drogheda probably due in 30mins.
That sound map looks something like a ufo invasion from Independence Day

That thunder is banging tonight! Genie mac... it keeps going on and on... it's not scary at all... it's very annoying actually :pac:. And a couple of lightning strikes here and there... I haven't recorded any of this kind of weather in a very very long time.

Very dark clouds above and very humid in south central Dublin. Distant thunder is constant reminds me of when I was in Orlando a few years ago!

Operations halting at Dublin, all aircraft holding.

Finally heading for a show in east Meath

Lots of fork lightning and heavy thunder in North Bay area. Bull Island being lit up, birds all going mad.

vg88

Lightening going off every 20 seconds on dublin bay. Got some videos on snapchat if anyone wants to see them add moloner4

My sister is on the Ulysses, no impact, just a great light show

Trebor176

I'm disappointed that there has been a non-show further south in Dublin, but I wasn't expecting anything, to be honest.

John_Rambo

Calming down now, but an excellent light show! I'll try and put up a few vids if I can.

Actually, it's picking up again.

I'm in Dublin 12 and am still seeing the sky lighting up quite a bit and I'm facing West, only a few low rumbles though. The dogs can definitely hear more than I can - going nuts!

fraxinus1

Very disappointing in Lucan. Nothing. So much potential. I doubt there will be anything else tonight so maybe tomorrow might bring renewed chances.
