    You're safe, Joe. It'll recognise you and realise nothing can blow more air than yourself.

    Jesus if the power goes a few more miles north east it'll be like bloody Mad Max.

    Will make the Lidl snow party look like a teddy bears picnic.

    Am around 7 miles North and slightly West of Tuam not far from Mayo border on an exposed hill. Was really gusty for a couple of hours with a fair belt of rain but gone eerily quiet now.

    I have the trampoline well weighted down, but I'm still worried for it :(

    The hint is in the name. They're a lot like Tomcats. Touch of the tramp about them. They never come back home by midnight.

    Lights flickering now in Kildare. I’d say it’s about to go.

    Power gone in east Galway, back again a few minutes later. Savage sounds coming from outside with the wind howling around the house.

    The winds that hit my property were way worse then when the country was shut down with other storms but sure I'm only living in limerick which constantly gets bypassed with warnings, every county up west coast gets warnings bar limerick but hey it's "met Dublin"

    I was going to say the same but you might get lynched for being in a 20km radius of RTE headquarters.

    Is this significant or just par for the course?
