Severe Wind Storm late 26th-27th December

Faustino

Took the dog out for his evening constitutional, kept him on the lead to be safe. He decided to do his business at a much closer spot than normal, then during the middle of it.. one of those industrial bins from a nearby restaurant toppled over and came flying past us.

Would have been flattened if it wasn't for him deciding on a different spot!

It's pretty noisy near Limerick City. Will there be a roof on my house in the morning?

Same. It'll be rough up the Tank Fields. Lights at the water tower went out about half an hour ago.

In this weather just keeping the nose into the waves is all the skipper will be trying to do, never mind making much headway!

Same, the locals down the road in Blarney got a power outage. But that's all along the North Valley, they get some serious North Westerly winds. The hills filter a lot of it for ourselves.

Hope everybody is okay, getting pretty bad in Dublin. Take Care
