Whaaa nice, hope folks are ok down there I'm trying to reach my brother down south still not a word back, unless he is just sleeping haha.

Torro is alive guys Link to website, warnings: Torro

Just had a nice gusts here, wheelie bins knocked out onto the road and what a mighty roar from the gust too (Dublin)

Humm so my thinking was right sting jets can happen multiple times within one storm depression, I seen this image here and I'm now watching sat24.com and it seems to be building up another.

I'm not sure if you asking what a sting jet is but I'll post this here incase others might want to know . The Sting Jet

Stay safe everyone.

Did someone break Torro ? I never see these guys do much anymore .

Don't forget to add the New Moon into this effect this coming 14th Friday. It would be good to know of any effects that could happen, I'm no wave expert so more info would be great if anybody can share.

That could happen at any random moment 3 hrs or 6hrs before hand, I've seen red warnings issued while an event was happening....to late the damage was already done, but saying that this happened seven years ago when Dublin was flooded by summer Thunderstorms.

Thank you.

On and off for Dublin all day here, I'm enjoying the odd flurries, wish it would stay for a day just so I can grab a few photos.

Tom Tiernan said significant repairs must be made to up to 40 sites across the county. His comments come after the council stated that the cost of repairing the damage done by recent storms could be €35m. "There are a total of 40 sites containing public infrastructure along the coast of Clare, from Galway Bay and up into the Shannon Estuary. "There are several key locations that are a key component to the tourist industry, which is a cornerstone of the economy of Co Clare. "Not just Lahinch, but areas like Kilkee, Spanish Point, New Quay, Liscannor and Loop Head peninsula." Elsewhere, Minister for Public Expenditure Brendan Howlin has said the Government has decided to give €500,000 to the St Vincent De Paul society and a further €500,000 to the Irish Red Cross so that they will have as many vehicles as possible to distribute relief. He said the next phase will be to get full oversight of the damage to infrastructure around the country. He said the Government will be getting a report on the damage from the Minister for the Environment today. Info from: RTE News Video: Met Éireann issues weather warnings ahead of stormy conditions
