My gaff just got hit...huge bang house alarm goes off...car alarm going off all around...it's chaos out here!

Fork lightening, in Ireland? WTF!

Lads, if anyone needs to drive the N11 toward/from wexford tonight please just stay where you are. I drive in any conditions not a bother, but I have never ever seen anything like that. I would be very surprised (and happy) if there are no fatalities on that road tonight.

My Swedish friend just messaged me from Gothenburg. They have terrible fork lightning there too, but no thunder.

Damn why can't we have lightning. I love lightning. I remember years ago I must have been about 6, so 1990 roughly, we had spectacular fork lightning at 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning. Does any one remeber it. I lived in Dublin at the time. But it was the best lightning I ever witnessed went on for ages, not just one flash break but loads going off at the same time. Does anyone remmebr it?

Is it lighting or very heavy rain out that way?

Lightening, very very very heavy rain, the entire road is flooded with parts of it deadly, thick fog. Can't see past the front of your own car at times. Mental stuff.

I'm glad I'm home, I was genuinely terrified, and I don't scare easy when it comes to driving.

Ah don't be scared. It can actually be really relaxing. Turn everything off and leave your blinds open and you'll see a cool flash and count how far away it is.

I remember maybe 5 years ago driving in Donegal with similar fork lightning which was striking the road. That was crazy to see, even in daylight.

What am I voting for now in this poll?

Anyone for a jog?

So cool and refreshing.

Nice romantic music there SR, very calming.

Better than the audio of me screaming like a little girl.

Rain and thunder heading for Louth at the moment.

Just stood out in it myself and it felt so nice after the recent hot and dry nights
I love rain when it's not accompanied by icy winds and freezing temps!

Yup

Broadsheet has the image too (must mention that it's from Jack Leahy, Education Officer) as well as an image from Wexford street. I guess 17+ days without rain creates some sort of backlog :P

Shes fairly rumbling here in Dundalk, i thought the missus was just hungry.

Clery's department store, on Dublin's O'Connell St., is closed after part of the roof collapsed and rain flooded in.

ProudDUB

DO it DO IT . I did it earlier today, stood for ages in it, got soaked, felt amazing.

sorry, missed your above post

I'm not sensing the wonder. Did you feel touched by the might of Thor and marvel at the creativity of precipitation?

cloud493

Man that rain today. I was in town and I was getting soaked, it was great. Hopefully the worst of the sun is over.

TeddyTedson

I can hear more thunder but am not seeing the lightning here in Dublin City center.

wotzgoingon

It hasn't rained all day where I am, infact sunny intervals with clouds. All I have on is shorts and sandals.

Does it rain at all on mars?

wotzgoingon

Yes we get water on Mars. I have a pic to prove it.

Mrs Garth Brooks

Just yesterday I saw leaves falling. This is too early. Back to winter before you know it.

Call Me Jimmy

I miss the sun.

More thunder please.
