It seems that bad weather only makes the news when Dublin is affected. I'm sure Galway, Cork, and Donegal, gets it ten times as often.

And yes, I was wide awake and online at 4am when the sheet lightning turned up. It's not that dangerous, but noisy all the same. The lightning only lasted about 30 minutes, the rain lasted much longer, but you'd swear that we never get any rain when you look at the media coverage, and IE's inability to cope with a thundery downpour.
