    Serious amount of strikes today

    Lovely dry day here, there was heavy rain around Donegal town area earlier, I seen it on the radar, weather condition's believed to be a factor in a car crash in barnesmore.
    A strike showing there on the radar too.

    What a washout :mad: :rolleyes:

    Wind picked up right before the hail started but the hail only lasted a couple of minutes and then the rain took over. Moderate rain but it's been steady for the last 40mins like that. Good sup of water. No fireworks, it's losing steam bigtime.

    Apologies - I'm entering my dotage :(

    About 6.30pm I was coming from the south on the M50 and passed through a shower at the Loughlinstown exit (not much of a one, granted).

    Our shield must be deflecting them showers over that normally dry spot :D
