    My girlfriend just sent me a video of a trampoline (with the netting on) being battered by the wind in the backgarden of her house.
    For context, noone in the house owns a trampoline.

    Cork City.

    Ouch.

    I suppose this was the worst of it.

    Hope you get your power back, that always haunts me most about these kinds of winds.

    Most of us can handle it. Might lose a few unwanted branches but should be grand. It's the black spot I am more worried about! :)

    I dont know about that! I've known a few sycamores to do the splits when fully clothed!

    On a hill in Galway city, never experienced gusts like it. House is shaking. Ophelia was a light breeze compared to this. Stay safe everyone.
