          I was right in the middle of it in Midleton. Wow. Never seen anything like it before. It was like a monsoon!

              Hard to believe it could get that bad with barely an hour of rain, must have been some serious intensity!

              I remember that happening here a few years back as well, I was just 5 miles away from Gweedore and didn't get a drop of rain all day, couldn't believe it when this was on the news

              Flash floods in Gweedore, Co. Donegal (June, 09)


              Also tomorrow looks interesting again with a widespread risk, the north and east probably with the best chance, not holding out much hope of ending the thunderstorm drought here though

                Had a short hefty shower at 11:30 last night. Was short and very loud.

                No sparks.
