    Watching lightning maps.org here and it's striking just near kilmichael point on the wex/wick border and more to follow from the Irish sea.
    Just about to hit land now between courtown and kilmichael point.

    It will survive the journey inland Id say but depends on how narrow

    Constant lightning visible here south of Arklow
    Courtown must be getting the works
    Only drops of rain here nowas the black literally stoos in front of me

    Don't know how you did that as the road up is closed with the wind mil construction, the storms are quite a good bit Se of there anyway, current storm is drifting further away from my view now
