    Plenty of nearby flashes here in East Cork, seems to have passed over now. Most notable thing is the rain, biblical and still going.

    ECM 18Z is out and continues to show widespread storms tomorrow and some quite severe.

    If the charts for tomorrow verify then tonight will be just like an aperitif .

    South tipp / North Cork border, just got a hammering. Lightning once or twice a minute for what felt like ages. Really cool to hear the roar of the thunder so close.

    I think that was the most active storm I've ever seen in this country. I managed to get one shot from Dungarvan before the downpours.
