    Very stormy here in Galway now had gusts of 70mph, election posters hanging of poles and flying around the place, dangerous for people walking and driving if you are hit with one.

    Update on local news, Galway Shopping centre has suffered structural damage and traffic lights torn off poles.

    Its bad here at the moment.
    It would be interesting to have a wind sensor and a rain gauge here, although they would probably be blown away. :D

    Violent gusts and sustained heavy rain here now. Noise outside is constant roar. A few large branches down in garden. Garden furniture gone. This is more like it.

    Wind speed now gone to 78mph, as I am kind of sheltered I would safely say its a bit higher near the sea

    Well done MT your forecast for Connacht today is spot on.
