Was it not windy, wet, and generally miserable in Galway tonight? I would love reports. It sounds like a gamechanger.
We rely on you. Youâre tarnished now. Iâll be watching you over the next couple of months. Closely.
I know a girl called Elsa
When she blows you better shelter
She brings the wind and rain like a Supersonic train
She donât make me laugh
Blew down a telegraph
Youâre gonna need doctor if youâre on a helicopter
Be sniffinâ in a tissue
Your loved ones gonna miss you
When they find out
People gonna ask you why you travelled out
You need to find a way to kneel down and to pray
But before tomorrow

Salthill and Galway received no warning on possible or impending flooding tonight. Met Eireann issued an Orange weather warning at 9.40pm. City Council repeated that warning at 10pm. High Tide was 10.15pm. Too little warning for most people with cars in city car parks along Quincentennial Drive and Prom. Storm Elsa proved dangerous and unpredictable. Emergency services are deployed. Tide is now receding. Roads are re-opening around now but lots of cars have been flooded along the Prom, and elsewhere on coast of Galway. Lots of trees down and other storm damage. We have no business or residential updates to hand just now. Thankfully, as far as we are aware, no one has been injured. Best advice, stay indoors until storm has abated.

STORM UPDATEâ:warning: Salthill, The Spanish Arch and The Galway Docks are badly flooded. High tide is not forecasted until 23:00 so this will get far worse for homes and businesses in the areas affected. A full emergency response has been issued by The Chief Executive of GCC. httpsâŚ

It rains a lot in Galway and when it does then Salthill gets flooded
Youâd want your head examined to be parking on the salthill prom in Winter.
Horsebox 10/12/19: Would Met Eireann ever fuck off with their storm warnings. People dont need alerts every time itâs going to be a bit windy in Galway.
Horsebox 18/12/19: Why didnt Met Eireann tell me not to park my car on Salthill Prom at high tide during a storm?

Stay safe @Chucks_Nwoko and @Fitzy, heard on the news that itâs getting a bit hot over in Australia
When I worked in Oz the limit on the site was 33c, once it went above that we were supposed to stop working. Iâd say it doesnât drop below that these days.
