The wind was strong and gusty earlier tonight. It knocked over my wheelie bin. It now quiet in the last hour in around Limerick.

Pretty rough here in Donegal now.
For once the rain is battering off the other side of the house,usually battering off my window which is facing north-ish.
must be an southerly direction tonight?
P.S My windows are still all dirty from last weeks storm , the sea salt has put a film of substance on the windows and I live a few miles from the sea.
