    Fair heat put there now. Oilskins on in a heavy shower and near as wet from the sweat

    Fcuk sake weather bad for East we get it and bad for West we get it. Some driving rain now, wind sent a sheet flying and damaged a main down pipe the other day I'd say and tank raised a foot or 2

    Media going on about climate change and warm weather.

    Weather was definitely better on 27th October 2016.

    Starting to get sticky here. Massive rain Thursday night/Friday morning. Places were flooded around me and streams over flowing that never over flowed. One man got a call at 3 am to go out with a track machine to try save a house from being flooded. Rain again here this morning. After getting over 100mm since last Sunday evening since 6pm to now.

    Some rain after falling today in Cork

    Really heavy rain here now. Last night was the wind. So glad we got the stock in. Any flat ground at this time of year would break your heart.

    Rotten weather now for the week ahead. Yes it's mildish but the amount of rain has made a mess of the place. I'm half afraid to go into the field to do the herding now as I'm getting mobbed by cows bawling at me. The grass under them must be next to useless as feed now its so wet.

    Early start to the Winter now as this rain has made shite of the ground



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,611 ✭✭✭Mooooo


    Some amount of thunder and lightning now

    Raining all day since late morning. Not measuring but it's heavy rain again on sodden land.


    Went to look at the damage done yesterday in Foulksmills. It must have been a tornado. It was a narrow strip with damage done. Maybe 100 to 200 metres at it's widest and I think some are saying 6 miles long of damage.

    Pics.

    Full big sheets of cladding were blown off sheds and blown 300 metres away and wrapped around trees like plastic. Houses were damaged. Some extremely so. Cow sheds completely destroyed. Stock lost.

    The pic with the sheets at the wall came from 300 metres away down the road. Against the travel path that the wind travelled. So there must have been a rotation on the wind as it moved. A sheet landed just in front of that house as well just feet from it looks like the living room window.

    How nobody was killed on foot or driving on the roads is a miracle.

    In that first photo, is the house underneath the line of sight or has an entire roof been lifted and dropped?



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,226 ✭✭✭✭Say my name


    Underneath the line of sight.

    There was a shed there in front of that house towards the road where all the mangled cladding came from. From where I was standing there taking the picture the cladding was beside me on the road.

    You can see the trees in the background there unaffected by the wind too.

    Unbelievable really. I live a bit away and driving there, there's no wind damage to see on any trees by the road and you'd be wondering what the fuss was about till you get to where it tracked over the roads and then it's like a bomb hit.

    Absolutely devastating for anyone where it hit.

    There was a bit on South East radio about it this morning on the morning mix . It'll be on podcast tomorrow and there'll be another bit tomorrow morning on the same show about damage done.

    Currently on holiday in Vancouver and had extremely heavy rain for 24 hours place is pretty wet, i see met eireann have a weather advisory up for the next week for rain, reminds me of November 2009 with all that flooding



  • Registered Users Posts: 18,520 ✭✭✭✭_Brian


    Oddly mild out. Stiff breeze blowing at 15c on a November night. .



  • Registered Users Posts: 24,388 ✭✭✭✭Reggie.


    Lovely weather. Chance to get wash tanks out



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,611 ✭✭✭Mooooo


    Shite here, since 10 Oct been fairly constant rain. Have yearlings out, too warm to house them imo but running out of ground



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭blue5000


    Our nearest weather station at Gurteen has had the same amount of rain for this year as the total was for last year. The rest will be a bonus.....

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.



  • Registered Users Posts: 24,388 ✭✭✭✭Reggie.


    It's all needed. The lack of rain last year lead to the droughtish conditions here last spring

    Really let it down between 9.30 and 11 here tonight in west cork. I won't have to clean the yard tomorrow. Might have to empty a 5 bay slatted tank though

    River above the yard burst it's bank. I've never seen such a down pour

    Bucketing down with strong winds wet Clare



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,127 ✭✭✭funkey_monkey


    How is the tank today? Hope you have no damage. Those sheds down in Wexford got some hammering.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,631 ✭✭✭older by the day


    Thankfully my builder left the wall of the tank nearly two feet above the yard. So I got away with it. So no harm done.

    Just a reminder to check the antifreeze in your tractors/loaders etc as it's predicted that we're heading for a spell of hardy weather. Also bring bottles of doses etc into the medicine press in your sheds - don't leave them in the back of your van/jeep/booth of the car. If any of ye are using wells check the heat lamp/heat element is working.
