    Sligo/Leitrim seems to be the main focus of it.

    That storm is probably heading for the Sligo/Leitrim region. Could see frequent lightning here too from it. Counted 20 separate flickers alone in one minute about 10 mins ago. Seems to becoming less frequent now but a great sight to behold in the night sky.

    Tried to record some of it, batts were dead. Got 2 bigish flashes after I got the power supply plugged in.

    Looks like its north west of me, so yeah, leitrim area i guess.

    Met eireann says Longford/leitrim are at 2.15 so yeah, I guess sligo might be near getting it now

    It seems to be lighting up the place a bit more now as if its closer, although its not as frequent as you said.

    Sligo was getting it big time round 3 last night.

    Dont think I have heard thunder like that in a long time. Strikes from both North and South of Ballymote with about 5 min intervals.

    Looking at radar it doesn't look like any of the current stuff is going to reach Dublin. Probably had enough anyway - we've already had a month's rainfall in the last 2 days - at least Dublin Airport has!
