Very Warm, Thunderstorms, Flash flooding - Friday through weekend

I've always been curious about this... where did it hit? and did it blow sockets literally off the wall ?

Just seeing this.
No sockets weren't blown or anything, and we don't know where it hit, not the house anyway. We didn't see or smell smoke or evidence of whatever.
I think it must have been very close and created a surge or something, not a clue how these things work. We were in bed and the crackling and bangs woke us up alright, but it was too late for the electrics.

Edit : I remember now, we heard a farmer across from us lost 5 cows to lightning that night, so must have been there, not right beside us but maybe 1 or 2 fields away.

thought i heard thunder

Quite spectacular in Kerry right now. 3 flashes in the last 2 minutes, iluminating the sky, interwoven with powerful thunder. It's an insomniacs dream! Magical.

At least 6 lightning flashes and thunder in the last 10 minutes in Tralee!

In wexford town and judging by the radar and lightning map we could see some action in about an hour ill givr it till half 3 or 4 then ill leave it if nothing, Only finished work at 1am so still fairly awake...for now

3 flashes in 30 seconds just there in Tralee.

2 mins later, one HUGE illuminating flash. Im looking out the windown of my room and it lit up all the surrounding fields.

honestly on edge here waiting for the lightening to come

Just woke - are we going to be disappointed here on Cork city - still nothing!!!

Its starting to come down around tralee, the lightening continues.
