    Its stepped up another gear since I posted that.
    Its constant now whereas an hour ago it would gust every few minutes.
    Gusts are notably stronger. I might stay in castlebar Wednesday night as its not as intense as here.

    Radar shows potential for squally conditions and possible very weak and localized tornadic wind streak conditions in central Leinster 0200-0300h, from cells currently near Tipp-Offaly border moving east-northeast. Track would be fairly close to Dublin around 0230-0300.

    Well that was as wild and noisy and sleepless a night as anyone could "wish " for..thankfully I still have power and internet and phone( satellite so if power goes everything goes) Although a flicker just now and it tends to go after the event... Today is for catching up on sleep ( been knitting abed many hours..) and sorting the air mattress for the floor downstairs for the next episode. There are highly dangerous and unstable giant conifers leaning over the house around 12 metres away and the owner refuses to sort them so it will need a court order. Hearing adjourned twice now... I bought an air mattress in summer....Hope the choppers made it safely.. wonderful men ( and women?) scuse no paras.. enter has exited on ancient laptop..South Kerry mountains
