  1. Malin Head Donegal had has a gust of 65mph/105kmph in the last hour. Impressive!
  2. Sky was black in the town about 15 minutes ago. Never seen it so dark around 3:30pm! Was only heavy rain in Skeoge.
  3. The guys in work always ask how the hell I can like strong winds, snow, cold, storms etc but I can never explain it to them They probably think I'm some sort of weirdo. I can never find the words to describe it at all. Maybe it's the power behind it, the adrenaline rush you get when you're standing in storm force winds, trying to stand still, having to lean into the wind just so you can stand up straight. Storm chasing could maybe be compared to extreme sports... putting your own life on the edge!
  4. Went to Malin Head in the early hours. Absolutely insane! Recorded a sustained windspeed of approx 50mph and highest gust I recorded while there was 60mph. Standing up at the Radio Tower was almost impossible without the help of some of the abandoned buildings up there. On my way back down into Malin Head I had to slam my breaks on, but couldn't avoid a downed phoneline or electric line. Managed to slap right off the roof. Heading back in a homeward direction between Malin Town and Carndonagh there was a downed electric line covering the road. Had to ring the police and notify them of it as it was just over a slight crest. http://youtu.be/f94jyorERfI
  5. me based here in Derry, Northern Ireland. 30 mins from Malin Head I've been keeping an eye on this storm now for the last few days. Although I'm an amateur, going from the charts this is going to cause widespread disruption to the North of Ireland!!
