How does that work?


Anyway - it landed here late evening very powerful, very noisy, tossed things about a bit in the garden and upset the cats - they were prowling like caged tigers all night - but no major damage.

I hope everyone else is safe?
Any experts out there ?

We’re grand here in Dublin Mups, Dublin escaped the worst of it, it was sunny and warm but very windy here yesterday, I’ve seen worse days in July, we wos lucky, all that happened was the green wheelie bin turned over on it’s side and the wife’s pink drawers blew off the line, never liked the pink ones on her anyway so it’s an ill wind and all that.

Be hard pushed in Belfast, they pulled the shutters down at 12pm and all they got was a sprinkle of rain

Glad you are all safe.
