Thats some fecking wind out there

Its blowing a storm out in Salthill, Galway at the moment, the odd quiet lull and then fecking mental again. I'm imagining Pink Floyd's One of these days, I'm going Bum de bum de bum de bum de bum de with Roger Water's bass going through that Binson echo unit.

Thats the joys of living in the wild west.

All calm here now, was cat earlier though.

Hardly blowing here in Dublin South East.

Ruu

Good drying out.

Wind puts me asleep so its not so bad in the midlands

That reminds me, I'd better take in the washing.

Epic weather thread! :-)

How Soon Is Now

Found the attic door open at the top the stairs early on from the wind!

Went down told me girlfriend she nearly **** herself! Haha.

Just had an awesome thunderclap here, didn't put the power out so REO Speedwagon is still belting unhindered!

A bit of a strong breeze in comparison to Asian typhoons and Carribean hurricanes. We've got it pretty easy when it comes to storms.

Everything is relative.

'It's a fierce storm a'brewin ....


Thought the house was gunna cave in last night from the force of the rain and hailstones hitting the window.

And a swing set in the field behind was a funny sight this morning :rolleyes: sheep didn't know what to think! (And they all had lovely windswept hairdos, stylish bunch of sheep )

Your cardboard box wouldn't last five minutes in it put it that way!

On a molecular level, things are not very relative. Relative means, which is bound to be affected in proportion to something else and this 'something else' may be more than one, i mean, one thing may be relative to many other things. By observing a relative thing, we also can conclude, it is always mutable. Therefor relative means which is mutable or revulsive.

There is natural wind and relative wind. The pennant on a car traveling along the highway near the smoke stack flutters in a "relative" wind - that is, a flow of air which is created, not by the natural wind but by the auto's forward speed. The pennant on the car can show a "wind" whose direction is opposite to that of the smoke, though both are in the same natural wind. Relative wind is really not a wind at all in terms of our everyday understanding of the word. When dealing with principles of flight, it would no doubt be more accurate and descriptive to simply call it "the wind of flight," since it is the direction of airflow with respect to the wing as it moves through the air.

If a wing is moving forward but settling downward, the relative wind is moving backward and upward. Relative wind can be created by the motion of a body through the air, the motion of air past a stationary body, or the combined motions of the air and the body.For example, an airplane in flight creates relative wind by virtue of its motion. Likewise, an airplane parked on the ramp with a mass of air flowing over its surfaces is subject to relative wind. Also, on a takeoff roll, an airplane is subject to a relative wind which is the resultant of two motions that of the aircraft along the ground and that of the moving mass of air. It is for this reason that birds and airplanes, when given a choice, take off directly into the wind - so that the relative wind flowing along the wings will be greatest and provide as much lift as possible. When airborne, the actual flightpath of the airplane determines the direction of the relative wind. An understanding of the relative wind concept is fundamental to understanding "angle of attack."

Glued that fecker down, going nowhere but who knows another box could blow in and then you've got an extension!

At sea you would have apparent and true wind speed and direction. Traveling at 5knots into a true 0 deg. headwind of 5knots gives an apparent 10knot headwind standing on the bow.

The storms are apparently stronger in the Caribbean. Depends on how fast your moving :pac:.

Ain't never heard anyone outside the pale use "cat" as a derogatory :P
