    I agree, I dont see it hitting Dublin, too much of a Northeast pull on it, that said we may see the flashes or hear a rumble or two of thunder.

    We never get thunderstorms down her in Kerry :(. The last time I saw a good thunder and lightning storm was in France. I was speaking with a person from Estonia and she said whenever there is bad weather there is always thunder and lightning. Why don't we get any here?
