Five storms passed over Cookstown that day, the fourth one was the most intense storm I've seen so far. The hail was unreal, and there was a flash every 3-5 seconds for about 15 minutes. Incredible.

@fsphil They were amazing storms weren't they, some of them were severe thunderstorms, definitely the biggest outbreak of thunderstorms across NI for many years!, hope the wait isn't long to the next one :)

Nice chase, and always good when you have a passenger to impress !

@ozthunder Thanks Michael ;)

It was actually a bit of a disappointment over Eglinton. Not sure whether or not it kicked off elsewhere, but there was no thunder, no lighting, and only a drizzle of rain!

Donegal (Muff direction) seem to have got the most of the rain, but the time it got towards Moville area it start to fade away.

But I do have to say I was pretty excited watching the cloud come towards me, hopefully we get a bit more action over the next couple of days.

@tylercollins1986 OT kicked off big time over much of the country, best day of storms for years,

I wish the road you were watching this from wasn't so busy that you can't hear the thunder or your commentary. Great video anyway. Nice structure!

[asteroid42531mckenna]

@Krun2k I know what you mean, the traffic was so noisy, however the position was good for seeing the storm structure.

I wonder is this the same one that I captured in Eglinton... I caught it from around 8pm to 9pm

@tylercollins1986 I'm sure this was a different storm, I saw those cells near Eglinton from here, they looked really strong!
