    My bedroom is in the attic and I'm just waiting for the window to get ripped off the roof.

    If you're in a house with three little pigs in it, take my advice and get out now.

    It's feckin dangerous outside.

    I just saw the TV ariel crash down from the house across the road. It was one of those old-fashioned 4-foot long metal directional ariels - it came off the supporting mast and was swinging around by the co-ax cable for about 10 minutes before it came crashing down from a height of about 60 foot.

    Pffft, what an anti-climax. The only thing the wind did was blow over my dogs kennel.

    The fence around my house was completely blown down, and a rather expensive outdoor table smashed to bits. My garden is now covered in glass. Dunno about anywhere else mind, but the wind was certainly pretty bad in Galway, particularly this morning.

    Pretty bad today, tbh. Not as bad as the time there actually was a tornado in Cavan mind you... But close!

    Most overhyped storm ever.

    Winds were a bit strong, that's about it. South Dublin.

    Ha! Amatures!
    Tornadoes rip through Wisconsin on a regular basis! (but never this time of year). And unlike the Southern United States, we don't whinge to the Gov't to send us money to rebuild. We strong-arm the insurance agencies for what we can get and rebuild out of pocket.

    I could tell you some VERY cool Tornado stories!

    Yeah, it was nuts! Drove down to the prom in Salthill to take a look at the sea and my car was rocking back and forth like crazy. People were walking at funny angles into the wind. Quite a sight to behold.
