    Have been listening to thunder claps across the water in south Kerry since before 3pm. Continuous loud, echoing booms, like explosions or gunfire. Very menacing and eerie. Wouldn't like to have been under it. Meanwhile here in west Kerry the sun has kept shining all day, but the warning is in place until 10 pm, so, you never know.

    The sound you hear when the lightning strikes is a transformer on a pole near me.

    Good crack off that !

    Quietened down now here Tralee.

    Have you thought about moving to an improved location?

    These storms will dissipate quickly this evening and much colder air for tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday but a lot more stable.

    Enjoy those who have storms this evening!

    I'm jealous and I hate you all :(

    Just turned my power back on briefly, that is the worst/best hail storm I have had hit us here (10 years). Marble sized for a good 10 minutes, damaging size. I grabbed the phone and recorded a few clips uploading now.

    We had continuous thunder for at least an hour, with lighting every 30 seconds or so, towards the end some great mammatus clouds.

    In addition to an hour of a storm, we also had our first swallows last night :D
