    What's that counting thing you do to estimate how far away it is? I counted 14 seconds between lightning and a bang? It's a bit of a putty-tat of a storm - a few flashes, a few mumblings, much a-do about nothing.

    Down in mayo once, in my cousinses house they were all **** scared of thunderstorms (bless the muckers, they don't understand) and my cousins woke me up to tell me there's a storm (I was on my own on the couch) and they were all getting up to go sleep in the same room... I was 18 at the time. One of them was 17.

    I'm just yards from the coast so perhaps that's why.

    They're wise. You fart in Mayo and someone's house falls down.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Just had an unreal storm out here in north Dublin.

    I'm right on the Irish Sea and the lightning is amazing, fork and all, lighting up the sea!!

    Rain was fierce, thunder came for a while too, but the lightning is every minute non stop
    for ages :D<3 it!!

    I'm a mucker and I'm effin terrified of it! To be fair if you're out in a field (as us muckers do sometimes be) it's pretty fecking scary!

    Was in Malahide the last hour or so but think it's gone, I've never run from my car so fast. Scaredy cat.

    We've just got our electrics back. Was pretty bad here for a while, every minute or so we'd see a flash. Was watching the action on Stormvue for a while before, so I knew what was on the way! :pac:

    The safest place to be in a storm! There was lightning, then an epic roll of thunder here..another flash of lightning, pretty far away, and that was it.

    One roll of thunder a while back in D15 and what appears to have been a light shower that's drying up now. Strange seeing as it's so bad elsewhere.
