    Think i just saw a seemingly large funnel cloud over the dublin mountains.. when i got my binoculars it certainly looked like there was something then faded away. location wise it was coming from the cloud currently over kippure mountain.. anyone else see anything?

    PLus... some very dark and low clouds to the weat of me now over Blanchardstown. if only there was some great anvils above them id be more excited! ha
    Nothing in good view for a photo though :(

    Just had one of the heaviest 20 mins of rain in Naas I've seen in a long time. Massive rate of rain and flooding on the road to Sallins.

    The whole cloud base was really low originally, certainly could of been possible for something to touch down.
