Dunno where you guys are in the country but i'm in Dublin at the moment -in Sandyford and cant even get across the car park to my car because its been flooded that bad! Thunder and Lightening ever two min and mental rain.
On the way to work an hour ago i was driving on the Rock Road and was actually SCARED of driving.... it was like someone threw a white sheet atover the windows it got so bad. I'm beginning to worry how bad this is going to get....

AlmightyCushion · 17-07-2007 10:25AM

Repent your sins before it is too late.

_blank_ · 17-07-2007 10:26AM

Yeah, I work in Sandyford. It's crazy out there at the moment, like a monsoon.

RoundyMooney · 17-07-2007 10:27AM

We're not in Dublin, for a start.

Did you see the sticky at the top of the page?

Maybe you should read the damn thing you clown, this topic is about being flooded in during the summer, not specifically for Dublin though!!!

Undercoverguy · 17-07-2007 10:30AM

Yea i know.... Dosnt seem to be getting and lighter either. Its setting all the car alarms off outside lol

I was actually gonna post a topic about something like this thta happened on the M1 on Saturday. I was on the way up and suddenly it went from calm dry weather to hail and monsoon rain in the space of a minute. Got so bad everyone started to pull over.... myself included. I'd say there was about 40 cars in the Hard Shoulder with me. Stayed there for like 3min then everyone started to move away again. Drove about 2km down the road and it was like Spain.... Blueskys and Sun :rolleyes:

LOVE IRISH WEATHER

Spud83 · 17-07-2007 10:31AM

i like rain

connundrum · 17-07-2007 10:33AM

I'll bring the ark if you'll bring the beer

Yer man Gerry something from Met Eirann was saying that people were actually ringing them up and complaining about the weather. I'm in two minds about ringin em up myself now

Maybe you should have read it prior to the edit, no?

PeakOutput · 17-07-2007 10:36AM

Kintarō Hattori · 17-07-2007 10:38AM

In the city centre here and we've just had a shower, but other than that, can't complain.

Zzippy · 17-07-2007 10:39AM

Nice to see ye getting a bit of our normal weather for a change. Sun shining here, might get out for a round of golf later.
Stop moaning and buy an umbrella, people on the west coast get this weather all the time and you don't hear them moaning...

Karma's a b!tch!

zeusnero · 17-07-2007 10:47AM

Duggy747 · 17-07-2007 10:55AM

It's actually quite nice here down in the midlands, though the thunder & lightning yesterday kept frying the power every 5 minutes resulting me not to do any work (you know, posting on Boards and all that!)

I was wondering why I didn't notice you yesterday, you normally appear very frequently.

cornbb · 17-07-2007 10:57AM

Beautiful blue skies over Galway bay.

FYI

ShowUsYourXbox · 17-07-2007 11:09AM

Working in celbridge here and bar a few showers earlier tihs morning, its dry and sunny.

Me and my mates where playing pitch and putt on saturday and we left early because it was pissing rain. We drove out of the grounds and it was bone dry and sunny. Hadn't rained out there at all.

Nice to hear its a crap day in the pale. I'm about to cut the lawn myself, can't let that good weather go to waste.
Better put on some lotion, don't want to get burnt.

missmatty · 17-07-2007 11:11AM

It's schizophrenic weather!

I'm around Celbridge too.....we were sitting outside in the sun at 11am having our tea break! Now it's cloudy, but no sign of torrential anything yet.

However it's early in the day yet

gurramok · 17-07-2007 11:18AM

No pics of this supposed Sandyford flood?

nesf · 17-07-2007 11:26AM

We had the odd torrential shower yesterday. The sun's splitting the stones today though.

I don't trust it though, I think the weather is trying to lull us into a false sense of security...

Eye of the storm, as soon as we all step outside and bask in the sun's glory *BANG* 7 Twisters, a Tidal Wave, and hail stones will be all over your ass before you can say "Shíte! I better go inside!"

Andy-Pandy · 17-07-2007 11:45AM

In Stillorgan the AIB and the cinema seem to have been flooded. Bit of the roof fell in in the AIB.

What's up with all this Dublin bashing?

Most people in Ireland live in Dublin.

I find it kinda maaaaaaaaad that all the Dubs be pushed into a "Dublin" forum.
