    Huge cracks in Greystones, some of the loudest thunder I've ever heard. Some fork lightning now too.

    I'd say the whole estate heard the missus shout "f*cking deadly!"

    The thunder woke me up around 3:15am. Beautiful flashes of lightning filling the sky and bedroom also. Been pretty constant since 3:15am. North Co.Wicklow location

    Thunder in Dublin 22. I think Wicklow's event is moving upwards.

    I wasn't sure. I heard what sounded like a big lorry rumbling on the road. That must be it though.

    North Wicklow here and it just woke me up. Don’t think I’ve ever seen thunder and lightning this intense before.

    Not a dry eye in the house. Well worth the all-nighter. Kudos to those who called it and never faltered.

    Watching it come over the Dublin mountains from Dublin 8, lots of lightning and long rumbles of thunder. Hope it will fully make its way over the city.
