Any pilots that break this law should be locked up and fined heavily. 6 months minimum.

Reminds me of Man Utd having 3 attempts at a take off in Munich in 1958.

Could you imagine the unintended consequences of such a law.

Saw a flight from Copenhagen to Dublin, attempted landing & circled and eventually after 3hrs in the air it landed in Manchester, stayed on runway for another couple of hours then headed for Dublin again, got turned back again and ended up in Liverpool. 7 hours after initial takeoff

We're in an estate that was a new build in 2015, survived all the other storms no problem but a few slates came off the roof and a tree down in the back garden last night.

Single car. All speculation now but seems very plausible a gust blew him into the railing. Either way terrible news

Not sure if the storm caused this or not.  From reading the reports it just said he crashed the car and they are appealing for dashcam footage.  Maybe the wind caused him to lose control.  Doesn't sound like a fallen tree.

We were always lucky enough with the other red warnings but not this time. Trees down all.over the place. Accident in Claremorris has closed the n17 but hopefully not serious. Tennis club airdome here has blown down. Loads without power

Mental stuff

It's pretty quiet here since about half 7 but from 5-7 it was as bad, if not worse than Darwin in 2014

What's happened up there?

Bad down here on the Riv here but not the worst I've seen (so far anyway).

The drawbacks of living in a tropical climate I suppose.
