    There was what sounded like a direct strike to the ground near the docks in Cork a while ago ... HUGE bang.

    Watching the same storm from further up the road on Laois/Kilkenny border. Lots of flashes. No thunder yet.

    What a show we've had here in Cork over the past hour. Counting about 4 strikes per minute at the moment and that's a lull

    Oh the radar is getting fairly saucy now. Getting closer to S.Kildare/Carlow border. Some huge flashes and lovely forks occurring in the gap in my horizon between the Wicklow Mts. and Mt. Leinster.

    Like others have said about 2:35am there was an almighty ****ing rattle in cork city. The poor dog is clung to me. I've never seen anything like it. I've the curtains closed and I might as well have them open.

    Wexford and South Wicklow getting the show of a lifetime I imagine. I'm in Bray looking south over Bray head and there are large lightning flashes all over the Southern sky every second. Sometimes multiple different strikes per second.

    Look out for the trough - as it moves north in the next couple of hours cells will likely flare north of it's current position. Currently action in Wexford and Wicklow.
