The South East got hit by a pretty impressive thunder and lightning storm last night.
Waterford and Wexford were worst affected as the country was lashed by miserable weather. A real-time lightning map online showed the number of strikes along the South East coast.
Waterford photographer Noel Browne set up his camera and captured some amazing footage of Waterford City being lit up by a lightning strike.

The good/bad news is - more of the same is expected tonight as Met Eireann has warned of more miserable conditions for Waterford and Wexford. Their latest forecast states that bands of heavy showers with some embedded thunderstorms will spread from the south over the country this evening and tonight. The showers are likely to be heaviest and most prolonged in southern and eastern counties, with a risk of spot flooding.
