    A rumble from a cell around 5 miles inland to my west, which looks increasingly menacing, heading south very slowly

    Heard a distant rumble in Maynooth so didn't take much note until husband working in D2 complained about ears ringing afterward - so must have been the echo of the 'Big One' you guys got in town!

    Must have been IC (i.e. inter cloud rather than cloud to ground) lightning as nothing has shown up on detectors but reports of that thunder pretty widespread across the south of Dublin.

    I'm in Newcastle, Dublin 22 and there was a really really bright flash of lightning and loud clap of thunder. There was a stinging noise in the air during the flash of lightning?

    Two loud rumbles here in Celbridge about 10 minutes ago. Radar looks nice just to my southeast, so yeah, Citywest etc should be in the firing line

    Same flash and prolonged rumble heard here, assume its the very black sky of the cell south east of me. Not a drop of precip here all day so far

    Dublin's getting a presoak before the main event. I really hope this doesn't turn out like October's flood - that was no fun in a car.

    Interesting how the showers seem to map out the coastline in the southern half of the country, would someone more learned know if this is occurring because of a convergence zone along coastal regions or some other reason or is it simply coincidence?

    I am not the learned one but definietly some convergence occuring. If you look at wind at Dublin AP it is (or was) due east, menawhile at Casement window is (or was) SW.
