    Good video of the action on http://www.independent.ie/videos/world-news/video-fatal-tornado-rips-through-venice-31364568.html
    Balls to the wall stuff of the guy chasing the tornado in his car near the end of the footage, thought he really was a bit close!

    She originally posted the videos on her Facebook and they went viral. She also posted a status defending her dad on there.

    Was not expecting that! A lot of sparks too. That precip in the SE and east developed rather quickly. Don't think it was forecast and it looks quite heavy. I'm just west of Kilcock and it's dry but cloudy here. Sun went in an hour or so ago. The rain in the east and SE looks heavy and it looks like increasing in intensity.

    All well and good but with no sun to trigger surface heating. It would be a slim chance if anything occurs.

    It's kicking off now out at sea off the southwest coast. Clouds shooting up on satellite, 13 sferics detected on ATD.

    Not too confident on much sparks at all tbh but theres a squall line risk apparent on both the WRF and NMM.

    Strong Deep layer shear behind it.

    A hint of the start of that squall line just passed over here. Short lived but intense burst of rain.

    It's looking more like a squall line at the moment. Starting to intensify across the midlands.

    Yes, it has beefed up a bit, if it stays that way the Longitude crowd should have a fun end/trip home :eek:

    The air felt quite moist today but I'd say we lack the heat for thundery weather. The low pressure system near is kind of deep, which usually brings organized rain bands and wind that usually sweeps away the warm air, hence the reason why thunder is somewhat rare in Ireland.

    From Blitzortung:
    Severe thunderstorms across Europe expected today! Currently the lightning strike rate is decreasing, but in a few hours new thunderstorms will develop.
