Manukau heads obs wrote:Anyone get a capture of blitzortung at 3 am and or rain radar?
Blitzortung shows 2 CG's in west and east central Akld between 3:00am and 3:05am - one near the Manukua Heads and one near Maraetai. Apparently some Waihekians were also woken by a loud clap around that time.

Here's Blitzortung's CG's between 2am and 4am this morning...
