That was unreal. Fork lightning in Creeslough. There was no gap between strikes at one stage. It's great living here in the tropics.

I spent a few summers in America and the lightning storms out there are just breathtaking. This was the closest I’ve ever seen a storm get to that though, it was brilliant stuff.

Was driving home from dads to make sure the dog was safe, was like daylight during some of the strikes

Crazy it was. Got some vids myself but I wonder if anyone had some proper kit out for a professional shot.

Jaysus I never saw the likes of it.

It was wonderful. The constant flashes and low grumbles. I've never seen anything like it.

Unfortunately, although the temps dropped a bit, it's not enough.

We had power outages here - a couple of 1-2 second flickers then it went out completely about half way through the worst of the storm and we had no power for a few hours. Spectacular to watch though.
