SHOCKING 8 HOUR WAIT FOR GOVERNMENT TO TASK ARMY HELICOPTERS AND TROOPS TO WEST DONEGAL GORSE FIRES
The Air corps have finally arrived to west Donegal this afternoon and are helping to fight the raging gorse fires in the county after a 8 hours wait.
36 troops from Finner camp base in the south of Donegal have also be deployed to the area.

Donegal County Council also hired a helicopter earlier today which was trying to cover four different fires.
A massive well done to the fire service, emergency services and locals who have gone beyond the call of duty.
The fire is still burning in the area and out of control with weather conditions in the area not very good due to strong southeast breezes which is helping the fire to spread quicker.

I was in Albufeira Portugal I was waiting for the full moon to come up and it did not let me down.
The orange and red tints that the Moon sometimes take on rising and setting are caused by the particles in the Earth's atmosphere. When light (or more specifically, packets of light called photons) from an astronomical object passes through the Earth's atmosphere, it scatters off of particles in the latter.
What a unbelievable night and morning out storm chasing, These number of thunderstorms had to be the best in years as most of the lightning was CG bolts. I even manage to captures Two to three CG bolts in one shot.
