I wouldn't be suprised if many people have toppled wheelie bins by dawn.

No good if too windy, it's like hares and their hind legs, no good for running downhill

Really windy, bit worried about my dogs! They don't understand wind

Bring them into the bedroom, they will get lonely in the sitting room.

I'm huddled in my wattle shelter shrouded by potato sacks, drinking fermented mead telling the ten children stories while we listen to the gale force winds howl outside. Ain't life grand.

Sounds like an Americans idea of an Irish hotel... Sure we'll stop off at the nearest b&b when we get to the ring if kerry.

It's been really windy here, I've barely had a wink of sleep and our cats hate the noise of the wind, then again it has been making some scary noises.

It's so windy I just saw a fat chick get blown away as she tried to light the rain.

My willow tree blew over AGAIN and my neighbours shed seems to have broken its mooring and is making shyte of their fence.
And still I thought it'd be a good morning to get up early to run. Such a spa.

Windy here in Eindhoven.

Wheelie bins are all over the gaf

Badly Drunk Boy

I cycled in to work. It wasn't extremely windy but it still wasn't an easy cycle. I hope it gets a bit stronger later because it'll be pushing me all the way home.

My kid loved it. Well either that or he was terrified.

Had a bit of an lol there on the M50 this morning.

Anyone that's familiar with the big twisty looking horn of a yoke in parkwest will notice it's at a at a bit of an auld angle this morning, obviously by the wind.

The leaning horn of parkwest!

Couldn't get a picture as I was driving at the time, but hopefully someone reading this will help me out!

I think it's called the millennium wave. A lot of media interest in it when it got installed, as it's all one piece so needed a large trailer. It's been pretty much forgotten about since. Much like Park West.

:pac:

Devastating news. Estimated damage throughout the country is running into the tens of ten euros.

Bit of Damage so far alright, few car accidents, building damage and a truck blown off the motorway.

Its windy here, but not there, there is always sunny. Unless its here.

Existentialist

Sometimes you just wish the wind would go away.

But then, that's what wind is doing all the time.

If it was just hanging around it wouldn't be wind, now would it?
