    Battered by Storm Éowyn in Galway Ireland II

    I've actually got some decent 4G now, so will chance another post and try and upload more photos this time, so ya get an idea of what it's been like here in Galway.

    Still no Power here now for the last 2 and half days. I managed to post some Three Tune Tuesday results, as I had them pre written to auto publish on Peak D. God bless technology or Jah or Jehovah or whoever your having yourself.

    As, I was saying in my last succinct post, we were absolutely battered by Storm Éowyn, the worst storm in Ireland since 1961.

    Newcastle in Galway a few miles from our house

    Newcastle is a few miles from our house. In towards Galway city. There were lots of trees down, and a power cut, although there power is back since Saturday morning 😒

    A friend of mine living on the other side of Galway city, in Ballybane sent these shots on. What a nightmare!

    The University didn't come away unscathed either, as the photos below show.

    Our House

    Luckily our house didn't get the worst of it, although we did lose 5 or 6 ridge tiles, as you'll see in the photos that follow.

    We also lost our trampoline which had me very worried, as it could have totalled someone's car or house or killed livestock, but luckily a shelter belt of trees stopped it's journey after around half a mile, as you'll see below. I shared these photos in the last post, but I'll reshare now again for those who didn't read my last post.

    These flower pots at the front of the house got a proper battering as well as you can see.

    Thanks as always for stopping by everyone.

    Peace Out
