I hear your pain, not bin day here, but I've done my share of dashing out too this week.

Leading edge

Edited to say, pic is of a cell further east than the one over S Kildare. Can see that building behind it now.

Saw those clouds earlier in Swords. Got a couple of pics myself. First time I've seen them "in real life". lol.

Looking from Phoenix park west large black clouds and sheets of heavy rain. Don't hear any rumbles though.

This was the updraft stage of the cell that produced all the lightning in Naas. The first strike was about 5 mins after this shot.

Yeah thats the problem I was right underneath it! The rain was absolutely torrential and well the thunder and lightning roared for itself!
I would even go far as saying it was louder then the other night with the lightning when the power went!

I'm in the wrong part of Kildare !

Every day i watch the clouds bypass me and head up the Naas direction, they only avoid me by a few miles.

Seriously, today I got the full effect. It was great! But earlier this week or maybe late last week you were talking about strikes and thunder while I was getting none of it. I'm at the Johnstown end of Naas and I think you are at the Kilcullen end. The differences are astounding.

Im in Naas and the differences between me and Pad can be noticeable.

Amazing shot, send it into MTC's crew, they'd love that.
