There's been another couple of rumbles in Dublin 22. There was a brief lull in the rain, but it's starting to come down heavy once again.

Completely agree, that thunder shower has just passed to my west but a fresh cell is exploding into life to my south and heading this way. Might actually get a direct hit!

Should be a good timelapse video

Nice big flash and rumble here in Dublin 7

Wise Old Elf · 28-07-2013 5:14pm

Few rumbles coming back to Limerick. Was wrong side of city for proper show earlier but saw some nice sparks over the city driving home from kerry direction. Hoping for more!
Got the biblical rain earlier as well.

Few miles south of Nenagh here in North Tipp.

Could hear the rumbles from the Limerick direction earlier and we then had a power cut at about 16.10 which lasted approx 30 minutes.

Funny thing is I got a slight pain in my chest coming up to 15.45 and which lasted about 20 mins :eek:

Could electrical activity in the atmosphere cause something like this ???

Methinks a trip to the doc is in order asap in any event.
