    Meh.

    We survived storms up here long before RTE and Met Eireann and their fance bells and whistles gave a jot about us, and we'll survive this one too. It's not even that big a storm, 130kph south westerlies, wouldn't even bring the cat in. We were reared on 110MPH north easterlies around here, and no live blogs or twitters or any of that nonsense.

    Wind starting to rise a bit here now. So just to be on the safe side I ran out to the garden to rescue Terry and Arthur. Couldn't risk poor arthur getting his head blew off again after last weeks lucky escape.

    Maybe our military don't have any security threat warnings for the country so just use Met Eireann's instead?

    Does anyone have a socket under a window, on the wall.

    Holy crap, I think my house is falling in. There's wind blowing in the socket.

    Can anyone check in their house too?

    How come we don't get a nice, hot extreme summer.

    For Ireland, global warming means warmer seas, more cloud and heavier rain. After the July 2013 heatwave, we had a record sea temperature of 20*C.

    Hurricanes form from a cluster of thunderstorms over seas of 27*C. If our sea temperature rises to near that temperature, we will get tropical storms that will make tonight's storm look like a pleasant stroll in the park.
