    We are such a sad nation.

    Rest of Europe with lovely weather and decent temperatures and we are getting hammered by rain and wind....(as per usual).

    Hibernia is right....... Land of depression😢😢😢😢

    This is without a doubt one of the strongest windstorms i have seen down here in west cork (wasn't here for ophelia unfortunately was in the city!)

    Trees bending over in the wind, basically violent gusts. Dont know how it can get a lot worse in the east

    So far for us here on the coast near Kinsale, it isn’t as bad as Ophelia. But this is a serious storm.

    About 15 miles west of cork city & it's gone really calm for the last 10 minutes. Power went before 10, but haven't seen any severe wind here yet.
