    It's a slow moving squall line developing thunderstorms, seemingly a strike tripped the mains for Mahon, including Mahon Point ~ back now.

    Thanks, Togher is a different feed. :)

    The lights were out at the jack lynch tunnel roundabout around the time of the OP. Guess it must be for the same reason.

    Cool...I didn't know about the storm.

    Seeing some very very dark clouds about alright. One advantage of being so high up here.

    Thanks for the update.

    An almighty monsoon like shower in the city centre around 20 mins ago - I was driving back from the gym. Scary stuff, visibility wasn't great. Then arrived home and a big rainbow out :-)

    Thanks for posting OP, didn't think to look here.
    Came home and the oven clock was flashing - a good sign that the electricity was off.
