    It's picking up here in north Dublin city. Less than a minute apart. Some cool lighting electrifying the night sky.

    Oh f*ck this. I know some of you live near me...get your asses over here, get in my bed and cuddle me until the scary nature stuff goes away.

    This is not a drill.

    I was downstairs alone playing Xbox, but got a bit freaked with the lightening and whatnot. So snuck into bed with the wife (half asleep), under the pretence that she needed me there 'in case you got scared'. Alpha male, eh?

    She's gone straight back asleep btw.

    It's like 10 seconds between the lightning and the thunder max I reckon, which makes it pretty damn close.

    Fork lightening, in Ireland? WTF!

    Lads, if anyone needs to drive the N11 toward/from wexford tonight please just stay where you are. I drive in any conditions not a bother, but I have never ever seen anything like that. I would be very surprised (and happy) if there are no fatalities on that road tonight.

    Damn why can't we have lightning. I love lightning. I remember years ago I must have been about 6, so 1990 roughly, we had spectacular fork lightning at 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning. Does any one remeber it. I lived in Dublin at the time. But it was the best lightning I ever witnessed went on for ages, not just one flash break but loads going off at the same time. Does anyone remmebr it?

    Is it lighting or very heavy rain out that way?

    Lightening, very very very heavy rain, the entire road is flooded with parts of it deadly, thick fog. Can't see past the front of your own car at times. Mental stuff.

    I'm glad I'm home, I was genuinely terrified, and I don't scare easy when it comes to driving.

    Ah don't be scared. It can actually be really relaxing. Turn everything off and leave your blinds open and you'll see a cool flash and count how far away it is.

    I remember maybe 5 years ago driving in Donegal with similar fork lightning which was striking the road. That was crazy to see, even in daylight.

    What am I voting for now in this poll?

    Better than the audio of me screaming like a little girl.

    Rain and thunder heading for Louth at the moment.
