    This is looking like wow material.
    Lightning getting closer and constant.
    The action looks to be south of Gorey now and closing in.
    Its a fierce amount of lightning

    MT was spot on, got woken up around 3:40 here in Wexford Town. Since then there's been constant flashes and rumbles and rain. Seems to be moving along now...

    ETA: rain not especially heavy

    Doesn't look like we'll see anything at all in Bray or Dublin for that matter. It'll be daylight soon too.

    Arklow is on the very fringe of it,outside the storm but close enough to hear the constant thunder and fir the lightning to light up the room.
    Radar suggests its going to slide west to the south of us here.
    Its bright enough now to see how black incredibly black the sky is to the south towards wexford and see the lighting rolling across it.
    The thunder is relentless.
