    None here in West Offaly yet,but a total all day eclipse,very heavy rain this morning,dense black cloud blocking out the sun.As people used to say in my father's time"the sky is on the ground".also warm and humid,definitely ideal conditions for thunder and lightning.

    I was out with the dog when that appeared out of nowhere :)
    The first forked lightning and the loudest crack I've experienced for a few years! I estimated it was about a km away but moved away quickly.

    Was out playing with my daughter on the road in Balbriggan, main CG strike about 500m away and very weak strike (just a loud bang) on a street light a few meters behind us. We got lucky.
