Yeh. Sure it is.

This is a scary storm, I hope there aren't too many injuries.

Trees down in lots of counties, Kilkenny city has emergency procedures active.

I think there is an awful lot of damage that we will only hear/read about over the next few days.

I think the thread title is inappropriate and should be "The Storm".

Stay safe...

We all know you get warts from contact with someone's warty fingers. Wasnt the wind you dropped trou and bent over for now was it ?

Plazaman

On my way home a cat was blown across the road in front of me, as in if rolling down a hill. Luckily I was driving slowly. I just thought it was a black bag or something until it eventually righted itself and ran back from wherest it came from. Twas funny and scary at the same time, the emergency briefs were nearly taken from the glovebox.

I'd say your right. Damage toll from today is going to be massive from the sounds of things.

Tree just collapsed on Clonshaugh road at N32 after crushing a white van. Fire brigade there now. Traffic war zone.

Castletroy in Limerick is a minefield to get around.

Agent Smith

#TV3Weather Winds have now exceeded 74mph making this #StormDarwin a Level 1 #Hurricane on Saffir-Simpson scale.

Are there places in your area that are still open, even due we have a status red weather warning? If not do you think they should close, like we would with a snow day? It just that I dont understand why businesses and schools/colleges can still be open with weather as severe as this. I mean I would much rather miss a few days of college and catch up with extra classes once the weather settles down, than risk walking to the bus stop and become injured from falling debris or trees and be out for weeks.

hfallada

Even if the power is restored to 99.9% of homes within in a few days. There will still be some bag of dust phoning Joe Duffy about how she is without power even through she is about 15 miles for anything you would call a village

Limerick is NUTS. First time i've ever seen the Shannon going backwards.

Its a bit of wind. :rolleyes:

I despair at this country sometimes. A light dusting of snow, tailbacks for miles.
A bit of heavy rain, traffic chaos. Warm weather, it's great, but its a bit too hot.

Edit: re heavy rain, i'm talking about in general and not the recent floods.
