It’s been pretty rough we’re still without power, 4G is intermittent. Lost our fence. The side gate was in our neighbours garden and the tv arial will have to come down. Plus side was due to work yesterday but due to lack of power work remained closed.

Odd thing in our local town half the town has power other half power will return on Monday at the latest.

Hope you get power restored as soon as possible flypanam

Phone down here.
Didn't realise until I had to use the landline.
Internet is pretty erratic too.
But electric is ok.

‘My snoring saved her life’ — wife had just moved before enormous tree crashed into couple’s bedroom during Storm Éowyn

Neil Robinson’s loud snoring may have saved his wife’s life, after the worst storm to hit Ireland in 80 years caused havoc at their home in Castleconnell, Co Limerick.

Spotted this...
Their house was hit by a tree... wrecked.
The video is worth a watch as they both seem to be so calm about it all.

Spoke to my mum, my Aunty Nora was without power after the storm (she is near Athea , in Limerick) and my Uncle Liam's lost power too (He is near Belmullet, Mayo)
