    I wasn't expecting the gusts to be so strong here in North Tipperary. Just back in from securing everything in the back garden as the trampoline started to take off!

    Gusting to 85km/hr here now, nothing amazing by winter standards but considering how calm its been this year its probably the windiest night all year other than that storm in early January. My bedroom window faces SW so a constant roar here now :D

    It'll hide the sound of the women roaring, trying to get out of your room.

    I love the picture of the submerged cars at that carpark.

    Glad I dismantled the trampoline, just watching the patio door glass flex in the gusts.

    Highest gust of 47 locally.

    Intensity of the gusts seems to have died down somewhat now, perhaps only a short lull though.
