    I'm in Dublin, my windows are rattling, theres slates falling off the roof and a tree just blew down at the edge of the estate...yet the forecast tells me it's not very windy out at the moment... Is there any paranormal explanation for these mysterious happenings given that my phone's weather app is stating that it's clearly not the wind?!

    Anyone else feel like their house is about to blow down?!!

    Didn't Met Eireann say to expect extremely strong winds?

    Yeah same here. Bins toppled over, trees and pedestrians tilted at 60º, Good few trees down around Dartry too. Saw three down and heard of more.

    Love crawling into bed and having a cuddle and listening to the wind at a time like this. If the electricity went it would be perfect..

    Or maybe just turn off the lights/tv/iPad/laptop and create the same effect?

    Will ya ever come round to yourself, put down the phone, and start believing what's outside in front of you rather than some bleedin' app!!
