Just came to post the same that was a serious rumble just now in castlebar.

Had a few rumbles around 8.20 and lost power. Seems to be a trail of faults back from here through Collooney and in to Sligo town.

Lightning has done a serious amount of damage to the ESB network across Sligo and Mayo. The ESB map is hopping on the app. To be fair that was loud tonight.

Got a good dose of it out in the sticks near Tuam. Think it went right over us. A few forks in it too. Tripped the RCB.

This would imply that it was a triple strike .

Yes a triple upward strike and most likely when the damage was done to the Telecom poles.

Looks like a few sparks on the Dingle peninsula.

Thunder heard and hail showers here near Tralee around 07.00.

Maybe a slight chance of a few strikes around the SW coast in the early morning. Maybe just only over water if they do occur.

Hello all,

It's a new year, and the IMS zoominars are starting up again!

Next Thursday, 28th January, at our usual time of 19:00, we are delighted to have a speaker from Met Éireann, Paul Downes, tell his tales of chasing storms:

"A stormchasers guide to mother nature’s greatest laboratory: The what, how and why guide to stormchasing."

In 2003 Paul Downes, a native of Mullingar, followed his dream to chase supercell thunderstorms in the hopes of spotting one of mother nature’s most awe-inspiring weather phenomena, the tornado. Little did he know that this, once in a lifetime trip, would change his life. Hundreds of tornadoes later with a degree in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma Paul now works as an operational meteorologist with Met Eireann, however his passion for stormchasing has never waned
