A freak wind caused by many heads whipping around at the sound of a dropped cent hitting the ground.

A tornado in Cavan? There must have been about €10 worth of damage

scojones

I remember hearing about a tornado in cavan a few years ago that wiped out some guy's farm. It was grounded for 21 seconds. No idea where in Cavan that was, or this one was, kinda freaky that there has been two in the last few years in the same county. Must be from all of the cows farting, and the women not shaving their arm pits.

And maybe a bit of a fence knocked over in the background.

You get a good few in Connemara every now and again. I've seen two out there in the last five or six years.

Picture of a horse on its back?

Its possible, there was one in Birmingham last year, and more close to home Clonsilla. Worlds weather is changing. We will have a Summer if this keeps up.

Lollercoaster.


This tornado was probably the only interesting thing to happen in Cavan this year. It'll be the talk of the town (if there is one) for months.

Merrick

Wow, something interesting happens in Cavan every year?

I doubt very much that it was actually serious. Although the climatic change in Ireland in the last hundred years or so is quite intresting. The average temperature has increased (not just the average of Ireland but globally too), the sea levels are rising...we're doomed!

Ireland's climate will definitely change over the course of the current century who knows we could be experincing regular tornadoes in the near future.

That is actually a fact, of course most go unnoticed though. I dont know wether a comprehensive survey for the Republic has ever been undertaken:rolleyes:

There's talk of it on the weather forum. How bizarre, the weather posts going into the weather forum.

****ing n00bs. Little do they realise that everything belongs in AH.

Bizzarely, this is the closest I could find to a picture of a cow on its back..

Why would anyone visit the Weather forum?

Yeah, can't they feckin' look out the window themselves? :P

The point I was making is that having a tornado in this part of the world isn't that odd.

But for a few rare exceptions they tend to be weak and go largely unnoticed.

Unless it's in Cavan of course.

Thankfully it happaned in cavan so only sheep are among the injured.

Oooooooh the abuse. The Irish have always had a keen interest in it. It goes beyond just looking out the window:) :cool:

A Dundalk person slagging a Cavan person:eek: The words 'pot,kettle,black' come to mind:p

This might have something to do with today being a certain day for gullible people.

Indeed. It applies to a fair few people on this thread too...

It was actually only about six miles from my house. I went over to have a look last night and there was actually a fair bit of damage to some of the houses in the area. Roof came clean off one of them!

I was talking to a guy who works for Target in this area, he was cought up in it at the time and he said that the van nearly lifted off the ground. Windows smashed etc. Frightening stuff alright.

Pity it didn't hit the town of Bailieborough though.

Nah, it actually happend yesterday.

Dunno why people think this is an april fools...there was a prety strong and destructive tornado is Clonee Co Meath NY's day before last, a tornado in Aghalee Co Armagh last september, plenty of others over the years...one in galway a good few years back that left most of a mobile home on top of a telegraph pole.
Hell, we've just had a pretty strong t-storm in Dundalk just now...it's the time of year for convective cell clouds.

A bull probably farted.

Considering that the headline in the Anglo Celt, the day after the news of the Titanic disaster broke, read "Mountnugent Man Drowned at Sea".


Sorry, couldn't resist it...
