Jesus Christ on a bike!!!

That was some explosion to wake up to!!!

Granted it was the loudest band of thunder I've ever heard in my life...

But I thought it was some sort of Kilkenny based suicide bomber...

faceman

??? what happened?

jmcc

Lightning strike and thunderclap. Probably within a mile or so of the Viewmount/Powerscourt area of the Dunmore road. Bombs sound a bit different to thunder.

My house shook!

Amazing what Mother Nature can provide to the Dunmore Road residents

I wouldnt fancy being on the Municipal golf course when that fella hit the ground!

Roen

Yep, sounded like it wet off right above my house. I thought it was a bomb too.

In Ardkeen Village and I too thought a bomb had gone off. I'd just woken, saw the lightning then KABOOM! Loudest thunder I'd ever heard.

Cabaal

Was getting ready for work and had all the windows open in my room cause the place was rosten, it was really fantastic

The flash was pretty good but the sound was just brilliant

Ah, I wasnt the only witness so.. thought a bomb had gone off or something nearby.
One minute I am dozing away, next thing there is this almighty bang, scared the **** out of me.

Pity this little storm was during the morning.. if it was during the night, it would have been more impressive to watch.. we get thunderstorms so infrequently and I enjoy watching the good ones.. even more fun when the power goes out, all that was affected this morning was the NTL, but then, the NTL goes off for the slightest reason anyway

Adyx

Only got home from work at about four this mornin' so you can imagine how I felt to get woken up by this! It must have been over everyones house so cause I swear it was over mine in Cherrymount.

mike65

Pathetic! I was at work and yes I heard the bang 10 miles away!

i think the whole town heard this. every1 is talkin about it. it was VERY loud i was woke up by it and i usually sleep like a rock, sounded like it was right over my house and im in larchville!

fricatus

Yeah... standing in the shower at 7.40 with the window slightly open, didn't see any flash, and then all of a sudden, KABOOM! I swear, the whole house rattled. I'm out by Ballinakill by the way. So it wasn't just me who thought it sounded like a bomb or an industrial explosion!

Daysha

So was it definately round the Hospital area then? Cause im right in the centre of Viewmount and to be honest it scared me ****less!!! Never heard anything like it in my life!

Analogue and BB is working for me.

It set the alarm off in my neighbours house and the rattle was enough to knock one of her plates off the draining board onto the ground. Must have been pretty close to us!
Is NTL back btw? I'm in work atm.

JPA

NTL not back for me.
No tv and internet make me something something.....

kensutz

NTL is still b0rked

trishw78

I was coming down the Rockshire Rd. when I saw the flash come right down the sky. It looked like it was out the general Dunmore rd. direction and from ferrybank it sounded like a bomb had gone off. My mother was convinced the house next door was after falling down

christophicus
