    Was just watching it from the pro here in Tramore, fantastic stuff over brownstown head, fork lightning but no thunder.

    Was a nice light show never the less!

    Does a lighting flash not always make noise, ie thunder ?

    There is still thunder... it's just too far away to be heard!

    Not always, a very rare event though if it is the case.

    There looks to be a few sparks in the north Kildare/south Meath area? http://andvari.vedur.is/athuganir/eldingar/i_dag_na.html Any reports?

    Risk of thunder was in the ME forecast this morning.

    I was in the north Kildare/south Meath area this morning and heard nothing. There was some heavyish rain between 09:00 and 09:30 but nothing that would suggest anything thundery. Looking at the radar on net weather, there was nothing of note there either. Perhaps false returns?
