What odds does it make aslong as your not flooded. I would take another month of this as trade off for a low rainfall late spring/summer/autumn. If you think your getting it bad spare a taught for lads in South Kerry. valentia has recorded rainfall from the start of December of nearly 700mm or 28inches. We are lucky they dont get the internet down there as if they saw the "have you your cows out thread"

Im à Few miles off The Atlantic in Mayo. Do you Think Its Spain im sending messages from.

Two trees gone here this morning. One big scots pine snapped about about 10ft up and narrowly missed maize pit and pallets of urea.

jayus sounds bad doon the south, heavy showers here but no real wind

onyerbikepat

Rough here in Shannon alright.:eek: Parked cars are bobbing up and down in the wind. Trees down all over the place. Never seen anything like it.

Parishlad

Row of Leylandiis along the bounds of the airport and Ind estate have fallen on a number of cars...power on and off here in the office....lamp posts falling...crazy stuff altogether.
Just want to get out of here now and go and check things at home....have old sheds on an out farm that could be in the next parish at this stage....I don't even want to think of what state the home place is in....have just put up new slatted shed and I think I would cry if it was damaged!

Heard that a truck has gone over somewhere between Shannon and Newmarket on Mway....

GrandSoftDay

Fit to retire at the tender age of 24, dormer windows leaking in the house, trees down all over the place and I see the dog house in a hundred pieces around the yard. I aint facing the winterage today!!

case 956

it days like today I glad I my wn boss can do the bare miminium and come into the house and be warm by the fire, beats working in a back street garage doors open and the cold blowing in at ya, but then again I have ta go milk soon

farmersfriend

Awful here in wexford. Can see 20 big trees down and that's just the couple of front fields. Took a whole ditch of 40year old evergreen out of like they were matches. scary to watch. had to go meet school bus wit chainsaw to get them home. Hopefully it Will ease soon and no one gets hurt.

I said

Was here reading this,this morning going what storm? it's after hitting here about 3 mother of Jesus it's bad.

kevthegaff

just milked there, machine went off 3 times. milked early as i reckon good chance of the electrics going later

bogman_bass

storm hit meath about an hour or so ago. Thought I'd take off at one stage

RedFormanFITA

Wet and getting very windy in the northwest, sounds like a rough night ahead.

td5man

Rough here power off as well

Reggie.

Bad here too. Cars bobbing around and the trees doing a form of yoga. Thank god I got the precious cargo home before it kicked off.

Greengrass1

Girl I know up in clare had a tree fall on the house. Branches went straight in through the roof.
Looked like a massive beach tree did it

Timmaay

Tree fell on the main esb line here, power out since 2pm and no sign of it coming back. Mad scramble to get the genny going, 3yrs since it was turned on. Couldn't bloody find part of the pto for it ha. Between one thing and another, only just finished milking now.

valtra2

mother nature 1 me 0, few sheds down,

delaval

Two roofs gone here, one still precarious but too dangerous to make safe tonight. I have shed man coming to quote for replacement in the morning and then let FBD take it from there.

I was in Kk this afternoon and it was the first time I remember being nervous in wind it was savage.

biddy2013

was out there, roof off bull pen gone, lucky there was no one in the yard when it blew off. think fbd will be mental tomorrow
