    A bit dark but you can almost view a shelf as the storm approaches

    Rumbles getting louder too, rain started.

    As I type - one huge fork only a mile out. Streaked right across the sky. Impressive.

    My light just flickered here. I'm in Dublin 22, but it's hardly lightning related. I don't see anything on the radar anyway.

    Looks like 3 main areas/cells North Midlands & North Dublin (now)
    and the 3rd heading to the Mournes in 60-90mins.
    Not a night for pitching a tent in the hills.

    Dunno if anyone has linked to this but I just googled live lightening and found this site. Shows the Soundwave shock front for each strike live too.

    Great streaming footage from the top of a hill south of Wicklow town with camera pointing north or just east of north. Just watched for about 20 seconds and I saw 2 forks of lightning in that time.

    20 seconds between lightening & thunder. Think that cell is moving north

    I presume the video camera is catching it all?
