Lightning disrupting electricity in south of Island

Continued lightning on Island has affected homes down south.

Manx Utilities took to social media to report the news.

It comes following a house in Port Erin being struck by lightning yesterday, destroying its roof in the process.

Now, the company says it's received reports of further lightning - affecting electricity supplies in Ballakillowey and surrounding areas.

The issue is being investigated, and it's hoped to be fixed shortly.
