    Yes it is happening now in Tralee. I'm still awake and just as well as there are loud claps of very near thunder.I'd say there's lightening too but I haven't looked out.No rain.

    OMFG, the thunder just there is the loudest I have heard, would undoubtedly wake a light sleeper.

    Where?

    Lucky you! Looking at the radar nothing for Dublin again..

    Wexford has some sort of Starship Enterprise shield going on.. It seems to fizzle out as it goes north:mad:
