    Very loud and frequent thunder claps for the last 20 mins.....so loud that soot came down the chimney! We had some heavy rain but it has eased off. Thunder still rumbling over South Galway as I write.

    The heavens have suddenly opened here and the lightning intensity has increased. All beautiful pink flashes. Thunder getting louder now.

    Storm must be developing to my north as can see frequent lightning from that area here now. Would say roughly around Claremorris area.

    Haven't seen anything like this in years.

    Just seen one flash, plenty of rumbling here in Tubbercurry, Co. Sligo. It's outrageously warm at the minute though, I'd say we are in for a fantastic lightshow

    Plenty of strikes around the Thurles>Urlingford>Templemore area but none of them showing on http://en.blitzortung.org/live_lightning_maps.php?map=12

    Which is weird because there is a detector in Thurles on that network.
