    Don't get one too close to the other, otherwise "firey redhead" will have a whole new meaning.

    There were loads of trees down in Camden Street.

    It was like the aftermath of the Siberian meteorite explosion with Xmas trees falling everywhere before the sellers called it a (wet and windy)day;)

    RIP to that poor girl :-(

    Winds not too bad on way to Sligo but started to pick up on return journey. Fella was cutting hedges on back road to my home house last week and all the loose branches flying about the place right now.

    Some posts just don't seem funny anymore, when you hear that someone lost their life.

    R.I.P to the woman in Mullingar.

    [URL="A 23-year-old woman has died after a tree fell on her car near Mullingar in Co Westmeath this afternoon.
    The incident happened at Grange South as the woman was driving into Mullingar from the Ballymahon direction.
    It is understood the woman was trapped in the car after the tree fell on it in high winds.
    The emergency services freed her from the vehicle and she was brought to the Midland Regional Hospital in Mullingar.
    However, she died there from her injuries this evening."]RTÉ[/URL]

    Had a quick shower of rain earlier. I cannot describe it still. It was the noisiest, heaviest flash flooding rain I have ever seen. And by some margin too. It was literally a dense fog of rain that could not be seen through! In ten minutes a few roads were heavily flooded but five minutes afterwards, it was as if nothing had happened! Windy as hell too, it was like the rain in ypur average american movie:D

    Weather where I am is very wild with rain and wind. The news wasn't very good this evening with a few different things on it relating to the weather:-
    A lady killed in Mullinigar when a tree fell on her car.
    A roof blowing off part of Cork's train station and went crashing into a train and injured one lady.
    Cars under water in Galway.

    Right before Christmas and all. Its not going to be easy for many. People don't need that but we're at the hands of mother nature and don't get to decide these things.

    Weather forcast isn't looking promising with plenty of rain promised.

    I hope you are all somewhere warm and safe and hope things go well for everyone here.
