I spent about 40 minutes on top of a hill watching the lightning in the distance, it was calm at the start but as the system moved closer the winds picked up so I came indoors, as I reached the door the first drops of rain started fall.

That looks like a Bow echo return ??? This could go on for quite a time.

Chance of tornado ??

Lightening activity decreasing now. The thing with these storms is how quick it shuts off.

Lightning maps has stuff hitting Mitchelstown area but haven't seen anything yet here in the city. Think it might be bypassing us unfortunately
