I think they pay once on a "Act of God" and after that no insurance company will touch you.

Clonmel is a town at serious risk of flooding and it was widely reported that they could not get comparable insurance after 2002

It's gone from being stormy to completely calm here. No wind or rain at all. I was able to let the dog out for a pee.

I suppose it's too much to hope that the worst is over.

Wow. That was so incredibly unrelated and trolltastic. I'm in awe.

Talk about the weather or not at all is your best bet.

Cavan still blowing hard, in a fairly remote area so Nothing to get damaged or blown about that I can think of, which is disappointing! :P

Boom, and indeed, boom.

Listening to an ice hockey game live from Anaheim, California. My team conceded to Anaheim after 21 seconds......almost like if the puck was blown into the net...... it even controls the fate of sports events 6000 miles away. This storm will surely end us all.

For my pre-bedtime film, I'm torn between Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Twister (if just for the situation).

going out for a smoke is becoming a right royal pain in the arse. door nearly blew off the hinges earlier on, heard a nice satisfying crunch as it began to warp.
