    We've just had an absolute freak thunderstorm here in past half hour. All hell has broken loose. The wind knocked over my station so I don't know exactely how much rain fell but the place here is sopping. Worse still, the building site up the road had to be abandoned because bits of scaffolding worked loose with the wind and damaged some nearby cars. The lightening was spectacular though but after 20 mins the storm worked its way out to sea. We'd had a beautiful day up to that!

    Crumbs! It's blowing a gale in Dub 4 and has been most of the day. Course the only time it rained was when I went out for a walk!! LOL

    Yes, I was wondering how long it'd take before people realised what day it was :)

    Today at about 3pm I looked out the window and there was simply no weather at all, though it was back again by about 3:30. I feckin hate when it does that.
