Wow. The house just shook. Best thunderstorm in ages

Xenji · 09-03-2019, 03:04

A wicked rumble in Castlebar, shook the whole house, torrential hail as well.

Some fierce thunder and lightning in south mayo towards the north. Casltlebar side of ballinrobe I'd say

Woken up by some pretty frequent bright lightning. Thunder booming in sinister fashion constantly from a distance. About 3 flashes per min at the mo.

Edit, just wintnessed a a forked IC crawler to the N. :O

Thunder getting louder here (NE Galway) but no rain and just the odd gust.

Passed over in a short blaze of glory with intense hail and thunder. House is shaking as I type this from a deep, distant boom. Lightning less frequent now.

Good to see some proper winter weather at last! (even though it is spring now)

Whereabouts JD? rumbles turned to direct overheaders here but booming away in the distance again now. Lightning not as near but seems to be picking up in frequency again.

charolais0153 · 09-03-2019, 03:57

Looking at the maps it was towards tuam more than anything

Carol25 · 09-03-2019, 03:57

Thunder and lightning here near Athenry, woken me from my slumber. Loud cracks, frequent flashes.

Holy Moley... woke about 15 mins ago as I thought aomeothing was thrown against one side of my house.. the last time I heard thunder and lightning so loud and in such quick succession (with the heaviest rain!) was when I lived in Western Australia! I’m in Spiddal Village. It seems to have passed now.

Never heard thunder as loud in Galway City lightning is blinding
