Ah it woke me up, but I love that feeling...the sky is falling outside your window, and you're just chilling in your bed. Relax, smile, and get some more sleep...

just sounded like a big wind out here, but did blow a couple of trees over http://www.loopdiloop.com/folderol/2005/01/tornadoes-hardly-ever-happen-in-dublin.asp

crazy angel · 01-01-2005 08:51PM

its not too bad where i am just a bit of wind and rain!

CuLT · 01-01-2005 08:53PM

I slept through it mostly, heard an awful racket of hail outside so pulled up the sheets and blocked out the sound.

No hangover. Drinking water before sleep = win.

stuey · 01-01-2005 11:20PM

i had great fun in the wind. i took out my big stunt kite and had loads of fun. my arms are killing me now.

Was it just a big wind (storm) or did a funnel actually touch the ground?
:eek:

billy the squid · 02-01-2005 06:37AM

We got some unatural rain and wind this morning wehre I am in Limerick. it was really really dark around noon. but there were breaks in the inclement weather and the sun came out.

its really cold out now but atleast the bad wind is gone. its still qhite breezy all the same.

If we got thunder this morning then I must have missed it, although I did have a really good sleep last nigh, so probably sleptthrough any thunder if there was any.

segadreamcast · 02-01-2005 01:02PM

RTE described it as a 'freak storm'. Personally, I think that's the best way to regard it.

In Dublin 9, it was a very strange experience. It had been sunny until somebody seemed to flick a switch and darkness suddenly enveloped the place - it was rather eerie (reminded me of the time in Florida during an El Niño-related storm). The hailstones began pounding against my window whilst the wind overturned our patio chairs/table and blew over one of the trees - freak storm indeed!

stuey · 02-01-2005 03:16PM

oh jaysus lads i'll be taking the kite out again today. looks a bit stringer than yesterday

F*** me
