    My parents live in Coolcotts... was wondering whether to move there for the night... might stay here so.

    I'm a big baby:(

    To make this weather related - it does seem to be dying down.

    You could get a strike via an aerial lead or the dish.
    surge protectors no use on that and of course the phone line.
    I had a modem explode on me here once.
    right,thats my last post for now.

    I dinny think theres a need in buying them as we only get storms like once a year.

    I never said you were! You are right, the showery band to the west will more than likely mearge into the main frontal zone later on over the north.

    Negative is expecting lightning and getting none........positive is expecting lightning and getting some! :) Couldn't resist that.

    Heavy rain again but no thunder or lightning. Looks like most of the action is to our north.

    What charge they are. Negative is much more common than positive lightning.

    That cell is still active (just about) just to the South of Dublin. Posters in the South Dublin area may see some lightning very soon - i.e in the next 15 or 20 mins.
