    i was out walking the dog this morning along the beach near Glenbeigh in Co Kerry and the wind was ferocious ... very hard to keep upright and the wind was pushing me along nicely ...

    Still very windy here now but no rain

    We just arrived in Galway , past through some real heavy showers at Atlone.
    Took 1 short video . Wind shear is quite rough at times also , we even had to slow down quite a bit to get through it.

    Wil keep u's all posted :)
    Over and out.
