    Looks like its diverted to Shannon.

    Wonder if that FedEx plane heading to Dublin will have any problems.

    Seen what looked like a couple of distant flashes of lightning when out the back about 30 mins ago. Either that or some sort of power source blew but lecky still on and winds have died down. No sferics pick up on ATD. Wonder is it possible that any lightning actually occurred at jet-stream level only?

    PS, lightning (or whatever it was) seemed sourced to my north, over Mayo area.

    Saw a flash here half an hour ago as well but assumed it was just lights flickering, reports a while ago by another poster as well of thunder in Galway although I haven't heard anything but wind all night

    Looks like that FedEx plane has been diverted to Shannon too.

    Lucky this is happening when there isn't much coming into Dublin.

    Jaysus wide awake here now for the last hour. Our roof is taking a battering and making some very loud bangs. :( I'm fairly sure we have some tiles off/damage.

    Just constant lulls and then very very strong gusts. The noise is mental. Based in Rush in North Dublin.

    Have to fecking drive to Galway first thing so could have done with a good nights sleep. :pac: Will also have to see if I can spot any roof damage in the morning before I leave. Have a feeling ill be coming back to a leak or two. :mad:

    Looks like the fedex flight is in a hold as its circuling now.

    They must expect it to die down.

    United coming straight in for the approach must have higher tolerances than the old FedEx plane.
