    A plane just came through fairly low over the old head en route to cork airport, got a burst of amazing flashes. Id say its an impressive sight from up there.

    Had a fantastic view of the storms off the south coast about 40 minutes ago, from the vantage point of a plane. Flashes every couple of seconds.

    I'm not kidding, I think they are filming a new Thor film in the skies over Carrigaline. It's absolutely insane here. Thunder is fantastic!

    If you want to experience what's happening.

    As I type this a electrical fork just went across the sky and another 13 seconds. This is crazy.

    Edit: and another! This is crazy loud , like it's right above us. Dogs going crazy.

    What are the warning levels for thunderstorms? This definitely feels like a more severe event than a yellow warning would suggest. Torrential rain, surface water on roads is very bad.

    Met Éireann's explanation doesn't provide much.

    Yellow: Thunderstorms No Criterion – not displayed.
    Orange: Thunderstorms Widespread thundery activity over an area of several counties.
    Red: Thunderstorms No Criterion.

    Hot damn, these are some nice pics!

    Seeing lightning now from north Dublin to my southeast.

    Could be the cells off south Wicklow but it seems somewhat closer.

    Seems to have died off a bit now. That lasted how long? Hour and a bit? Was crazy intense there for a minute.

    Edit: Another flash and more thunder just as I posted that along with heavy rain
