    Stand on your roof holding an aerial, shouting 'come on thunder'... worse thing that can happen is you'll turn into Frankenstein's Monster and amble around frightening the neighbours. Best thing is you could turn into Harry Potter and get snuffed out by Voldermart.

    raining in Clare !!! No change to the rest of the year then.... *sigh*

    Wind picked up around teatime as I was bringing a barrow of hay across the yard - dispatched it nicely into a tumbleweed-style scene anyway.

    Normally I'd be excited but my OH has to fly out of Dublin tomorrow as his mum's poorly so fingers crossed that all goes according to plan. Also he'll be leaving me on my own here and I can't tie the shed roof back down on my own.

    Wild weather here right now, very stormy with horizontally blowing hail, impressive to watch from the comfort of the living room with the hail blowing right into the window!

    Some nice looking showers on the way soon as well but have to be up in the morning so that'll have to do for tonight. Tomorrow should be interesting!

    If the power goes try and make it to Enda's underground bunker in Castlebar, it is built to withstand all kinds of calamities.

    The 62 mph gust reported at Mace Head at 00:00 is about 10mph stronger than the maximum gusts that the hi res NMM model predicted for that area at that time. It wasn't predicting gusts of that strength for another 6 hours.

    Just had a mental hail whiteout - its like someone came along and sprinkled a huge bag of granulated sugar all over the place.

    Lights flickering too.

    I seen this happen a few times before. for tomorrows wind-speed rte weather forecast on the 9 o clock news shows 85 km/h but at the end of the weather it shows wind-speed 35 km/h for tomorrow. how can the both of these winds-speeds for tomorrow be correct in the same weather forecast from rte on the nine news ?. the wind-speed tomorrow is either 85 km/h or 35 km/h how can it be two different wind-speeds ?
