What a fucking day. Beautiful.
Calm before Noah & the Ark passes you out on the M50.
Where are they getting the fucking names for these storms. We had Clodagh last week and Desmond is rocking in tomorrow.
Desmond and Clodagh are hardly calculated to strike for into the heart so I’m assuming that the met office are sending out a coded message here that it’s a ok to go about your usual business.
Storm Vladimir would be of a different magnitude.

They are named alphabetically and alternate between male and female names. After Desmond, the next one will be Storm Eimear or Evelyn or Ermintrude or something.
Blowing up here on the Atlantic coast. Took the eldest lady outside there at lucnh time and threw the jackets over our heads and walked into the wind. Great crack.
Had to dismantle the kids swing earlier as it looked like it might take off.

Looks like some wind…
Worst of it seems to be missing us down here in the northeast of the southwest thank God. Blustery but nothing more so far.
Grand out at the minute. Early days yet though.

Have we lost any counties along the west coast during this storm? Do we need to declare a national emergency and start sending tents?
Power went last night for about an hour.
A complete non event on the wind front, there is a good few loughs of water around the place though.

Cork was blown away in the storm I heard and suffered a mental breakdown.

You have to laugh at the Irish media, “thousands without power”, read down through the report and it is 1800 homes ffs. Storm Barney took out the power to 45,000 homes.
