    There would have been some flooding in the city if that had set up directly over it instead of a few km to the east.
    Latest loop on netweather shows it intensifying slightly again and its practically stationary it would have been a disaster.

    Why have a go if theres doubt of not making it

    There will be a decision altitude not 100% what the altitude is, but if winds start gusting before this altitude they will make the decision to go around.

    Generally, it is to get a feel when conditions are uncertain.

    Nope, another normal departure. You guys should take a look in the Aviation & Aircraft forum, really interesting stuff in there!

    Gone quiet again here. Think I will go to bed.

    Watching FlightRadar24, looks like EIN565 just landed and is taxiing OK.

    edit: there's another flight, Ryanair FR8012 from Warsaw, heading in from the Irish Sea.

    Yep, she got down safely. Interesting looking at the flight path it took. Came in very wide to avoid the CBs vs. it's normal approach.

    Another couple of flashes just now.

    The rain seems to have picked up again by croke park. Looks as though the road outside is getting fairly flooded too.

    And Tony Gilbert is forecasting a moderate risk of a weak tornado in the north/northwest :
