    Heard masive crash outside, opened front door to see the massive oak tree out the back has falled true my garage and crushed my car. Thinks are mental here in clare. Will try and get a pick up, power is gone aswell.

    until a picture goes up I don't believe you. If my garage and car were just crushed I dont think posting on boards would be my priority.

    Mayo County Council have been getting quite a few calls about downed trees in the last hour, be careful on the roads, power also gone in some villages.

    Would you be running outside into the storm to try to get a head start on the panel-beating and reconstruction? :D

    What do you mean, surely posting on here takes top priority over anything else ;)

    Never seen the https://www.esb.ie/esb-networks/powercheck/ map look so bad, nearly every county in the country is suffering from some form of powercut.
