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.  |
Fair enough and I agree with you to an extent but we are talking about the capital city that comes to a complete standstill everytime we get a drop of rain. I agree that Galway, cork and donegal get it often but am sure they know how to handle it better! Its quiet obvious that in Dublin areas drainage is poor 9ask anyone who travels by DART beyond Dun Laoghaire) and with regards to transport the signs of the celtic tiger was 3 or 4 cars per road with all of them out everytime!
