Mister Robinson

Getting the lightening here in D15 but the thunder is very distant!

BluesBerry

I heard claps of thunder thought it might be the neighbours bringing in their bins came straight to the weather forum seen this thread now I know

Me loves thunder

Su Campu

Tis a night for shleepin with da blinds open!

DOCARCH

Another flash again here, about 10 seconds to thunder. Appears to be to my south east.

Fringe

Huge flash in D14. Can't hear anything though. Scared the hell out of me for a second. I thought someone was outside flashing their light at me.

rd_milltown

A nice cluster of strikes in the past 3 hrs...

May just be starting to quieten down here. Thunder down to 5 seconds at one point. Epicentre seems to be around Bray Head, which fits in with what Docarch thought.

Good rumble of thunder and one lightning event in Lucan.:)

Fair play to MT Cranium. He was bang on the money yet again. Thanks a million MT.

I thought there might be a bit tonight on my way home. Had that feeling in the air.

Not seen any hear in Tallaght yet though.
I'm hoping for at least one strike.

Fuuck what the neighbours think! Do your own thing and if they have a problem with that, then tough for them.

CrackisWhack

do you think thats it? was hoping for more:D

Gone very quite in south kilkenny. No thunder or lightning in about 45 mins. Getting breezy though, in contrast to the calm during the lightning

squonk

Think I'll hit the hay but I'll have a quick look outside first. Doesn't sound like there's anything significant happening at the moment really and I'd rather sleep now. Mind you I have a hell of a headache here again so the lightening hasn't gone away I'd say. Always happens when the thunder and lightening is about.

darkman2

Same here, 45 minutes of nothing. Shows how quickly storms can die. One minute it's a nice display - the next nothing.

delw

tink dats it?i caught 2/3 strikes but little thunder,raining now but dats not to heavy at moment either

df1985

heard a few cracks in leixlip a while ago.

Deep Easterly

Raining here now, nothing too heavy. Winds are veering a little to the NW. Pressure 993.9mb and steady.

Iancar29

Seems to be one more last bash coming in off the coast now. A few more claps and flashes an I'll be happy!.... The dog won't be tough ha
