This was a major event alright.
You were lucky irishone , maybe the direction or something helped you. The only reason it wasnt much worse was the excellent met eireann and news agencys getting the danger potential out there. Buildings were secured and people stayed at home saving many lives. I had to be out in it but believe me I was scared anywhere near a tree as they were under severe pressure. The amount of trees down compared to lives lost is testament to the warnings put out in time . |
