Snow on Christmas Day, thunderstorm on New Years Day. George W Bush in control of a lot of nuclear missiles.

THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH!

Ah no, and before I got to take it over as well, its the worst possible timing.

My mate cycled the ring of Kerry on New Years just for the hell of it (110 miles roughly). He did it in 6 hours and 50 mins in the weather mentioned above. I drove behind him as support and laughed for most of that time at him. Also given the years I've lived down here I've never drove it. Molls (sp?) gap is simply stunning.

Well pam according to the Rapture Index we are only at the "Fasten your seatbelts" part of the rapture countdown.

Actually it reminded me of El Niño too, except I was in that for a week and this storm was pretty short lived.

Didn't notice a thing in Galway.

There was hail and high winds here, went outside afterwards and there was part of a tree that had broken off some other tree lying taking up the majority of the footpath, other than that there wasn't too much damage done here.

well there is going to be more of it tonight according to the met office or met eireann.

although this is more of your average run of the mill winter storms than the freak storm of saturday.

also hear from the news his morning that two aer lingus planes were damaged in the weather conditions at the airport.

and there was a tornado tossing cars about the place somewhere in the country.

Actually there was,
I was still on the go at 11 on new years day, and taking a walk down the claddagh, when a freak struck. Wind and rain that was almost blowing horizontal, But only lasted for 5 minutes before calming back to a rainy day again. It got the Ice Rink marquee, and tore the sides of it. Might get a mention in the advertiser this week.

i was one of the unlucky ones left stranded at dublin airport.
that was one freaky storm..it only lasted about 3 minutes but you couldnt see out the terminal window at all.

there were 2 aer lingus planes parallel to each other, one had the walkway thing attached to the door. the one on the right just started turning over to the other one, nose first, and got lodged under the wing.
mass slagging and "only in ireland" comments followed until it dawned on all 600 hundred of us that we were kinda screwed..

gettin the job done.... http://uk.geocities.com/linbin_ie/c.JPG

but what pi**ed us off the most was that there had been a strike on in shannon just that day and both planes had to stopover there (grrrr) before going to boston and newyork. the boston-magical-spinning-plane was delayed by 4 hours already cuz of this friggen strike so it shouldnt have been beside the new york plane at that time in the 1st place.

anyway, after an exciting *ahem* 7 hours at the airport, they put all 600 hundred of us up in the burlington hotel for the night. nice free slap up meal but not worth a day lost in new york

its also had a knock on affect cuz those damaged planes were meant to fly out from new york yesterday and today so of course more ppl were stranded.

in conclusion

aer lingus.......BUY MORE PLANES

F*** me
