    OK, I admit I got it wrong in terms of thunderstorms but seems they are more widespread then I thought would happen. But I await the cell BB was talking about patiently. Nothing yet.

    Still not hearing anything? http://www.irlweather.com/wxlightning.php

    North county - I see the flashes but no thunder yet - look east/southeast. It is sporadic but good when you see it.

    Flashes but distant thunder atm.

    EDIT: Thunder getting louder - it is on the way.

    Lightning now fast pace - anyone in DUB - look out the fcuking window to the East/Southeast.

    Just back from Waterford city, couldn't sleep so went out for a midnight drive.

    Witnessed 4 lightning strikes just on the outskirts of the city towards the west/north west direction. Some extremely heavy showers too, a lot of flooded back roads too.

    Depends on flooding. We can;t help you with that as flooding is random.
