I'll echo what Earth Wind and Snow says. A wild wild night. We were driving from Belfast to Rosslare. It was fine as far as south Dublin (relatively) but rapidly became hairy after that. On the N11 the road was blocked for a while by a fallen tree but we eventually got past that. The air was full of flying missiles which were hitting the windows of our motorhome in a terrifying manner. The van was swaying from side to side in the gusts. Just outside Gorey I saw that the roof skylight was lifting about an inch with each gust, though still attached to the roof at several points. We were not even into the worst of it yet. It was at this stage that we gave up and headed for the Lidl carpark outside Gorey, a much loved refuge for weary travellers in these parts. The skylight was reattached and the Skywatchers fed and watered. Thankfully, the wind abated and we headed off for Enniscorthy. Under clear skies and with sub-zero temps, it was here we realised a pipe had become detached at some stage during the storm and our heating wasn't working. We had a cold cold night. In the morning, we heard reports of extensive snow. I suppose we were lucky in that we missed out on that at least. This was a historic storm. RTE are reporting, if I heard it correctly this morning, 200,000 people without power. Most secondary roads are impassable or difficult. Trees down everywhere (we gave up counting yesterday). Sections of fencing are turning up in places where fencing isn't normally to be found. We're finally on a ferry, to arrive in Wales in time for the next storm on Friday. Our immediate task is to roll off the ferry into a garage to effect repairs to our wounded motorhome. It could have been worse. It would have been if we hadn't made the decision to abandon the journey. I hope everyone is safe after that amazing night.
