    Very weird whistling sounds.
    Not like a regular windy event at all.

    Just heard a really strong gust of wind above the noisy TV programme I was watching. I was outside around 10.15 with the dog, and it was just a normal breezy eve.
    Don't mind wind or storms.....just concerned about large trees right beside my house! ( Sth Galway)
    Enjoying the "mostly" informative posts and updates....always my go to forum when a storm is a brewing! :)
