    Did anyone hear a big explosion around Balbriggan about 5.45 last night. I'm living in clonuske and it seemed to be coming from the North.

    Thunder. I was awake and it was preceded by lightning - it was some bang though.

    Same here in Balbriggan, it sounded like it was right above the house. It was some roar, scared the crap out of the girlfriend also.

    Thunder- it woke me flipping up! Just one massive bang and nothing else- has happened a few times over the years in the town. Frightened the life out of my neighbour who thought a house had exploded! lol

Was in the morning and literallly made me jump out of bed with the shock. LOL. thought a plane had crashed or something. This sounds like a similar event. One off HUGE thunder boom. strange stuff. :rolleyes:

    Wonder if it was something similar to what was reported in this thread back in July '07?
