Major Storm On Saturday

Storm 10

It seems we are in for a major wind event tomorrow with Met Eireann warning that winds on the West Coast could reach over 140 kmh per hour. Time to batten down the hatches, also saying we could get Snow from Sunday into next Tuesday.

I just had a major wind event myself :P

Have to travel through the night to Dublin Aiport for a 06:30. I really hope there's no floods which stop me getting to the airport and I hope winds aren't as severe on the East Coast because 140kmh Southerly winds would surely cause some flights to be cancelled.

Damn, was hoping to go rallying tomorrow.

Bad news for where I work so. It's pretty much weather-dependent, so that means it's going to be effin' busy.

Nuts.

In progress I think: the walls were gone when I looked across today. But maybe they got really busy and finished the job this afternoon.

Hope so, or it will end up in the Corrib again!

We had to put blocks on our trampoline. There was a trampoline on one of the roads in Turloughmore, people were texting in to say to be careful out that end. It's hail-stoning mad now!

It did seem to calm down in the afternoon, I wonder if that was the eye of the storm passing over?

Saw that tanker when I passed by the docks on the way home from the station. Not surprising that it had some difficulty..

I was in Manchester for most of the weekend. It was fine weather for out and about over there - only a light breeze and one shower of rain on Saturday evening. Glad I missed the big Galway storm.

Holy crap that wind was something immense. I had to walk to and from work in it. At one point on Saturday afternoon staff and customers alike just stopped what they were doing; the wind sounded like an explosion.

That was probably the gust that sent my sky dish spinning round the pole it's (almost) fixed to.
Twas a bummer having to jacket up & go out to fix it so I could see the soccer results.

Blew a section of my backyard fence down.
