It is actually God farting, and lighting his own farts. And that is a fact.

You near Killiney? Saw a flash then 2-3 seconds later an absolutely massive boom with cracking after. Sure it was thunder?

Yeah, that's the weird thing. Only one bang and nothing after it
So maybe you're right and the met really ****ed it up. Could be the EU getting back at us of course, in the guise of rough weather, hmmmm..

yeh weird eh? I actually felt the ground move - and my husband can't take credit for that!

sternn

it set off a few car and house alarms around the place. no sign of anymore...

We are up the hill (inland) from Shankill anout one mile, it was one heck of a lightining bolt, about 1 second betweem flash & noise here.

I have music blaring and didn't hear a thing. You think thunder and lightning is scary in your house? Try being on a beach in the pitch black of night in an ar$ehole island in Greece, pissed and lost, on your own, in the lashing rain, when the most fu*king almighty boom follows a flash uncomfortably bright and close - I am amazed I literally didn't sh*t in my pants.

:P

The adrenalne rush of running through a thunder storm is amazing though, so scary.

Surprised the ground shook!

sternn

the rain has stopped...building for another big strike?! war of the worlds is coming

We thought it hit something out my back garden... Literally flashed and banged together, rumbled my house. Never heard it that loud before, each of our legs were tingling after it hit too. Shankill by the way. All the alarms on the road went off.

Loudest Thunder I have ever heard was so loud it woke me from my sleep, i was gripping my pillow it was sooo loud and scary. Happened in canada during the summer, due to the extreme humidity.

Never seen or heard anything even a tenth as scary in Ireland.

Like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody ever expects it.

Peared

Was driving through Shankill, actually thought something had hit the car - it shook. Scared the bejaysus outta me.

Peared

Am not in the gang I'm afraid whoops, was only driving through! It was more Shanganagh really now that I think of it

-- from a poor family.

Heard it in Blackrock too. It was the loudest i've heard in ireland anyway.

The earth moved (i was having a w*nk at the time though so...)
