Interesting! , that was the morning of the thunderstorm from wexford right up to South Wicklow area... then it was all out to sea before it even came close to DUbliN!

But ye... Could of been a tornado but from what i remember i dont think the radars looked anything ominous , but a straight line wind event id say would be more possible .

See the info from that morning here...http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056576160&page=175
