    These event threads really attract the weirdos !
    What kind of satisfaction can someone get out of following a weather thread they obviously have no interest in to post a “funny “ comment ?
    People are strange

    The lightning I'm looking at is coming to shore off the irish sea near Gorey somewhere

    We live on the back of croghan as such. The clouds seem to be coming from arklow direction. Few nice flashes and rumbles.

    Also thought I was imagining some lightening but there was a strike about 30kn north of me which another user confirmed a few posts above. Also the dogs started barking so definitely not imagining it.



    Going to stick the go pro to the window and hit the hay.

    Shall be sleeping with the windows wide open so hopefully it wakes me.

    Hearing the corresponding thunder now. It’s very eerie

    Cows are running like crazy around the field out back - do they sense something?

    The returns from the isle of man, wow. Just wow. Looks like the end of days. Hope they are enjoying it, with no serious damage.
    Tempted to go take a drive and see what's coming up along the east coast.

    Tried that earlier and visibility is poor due to the mist. Hope you have better luck than I did
