Why do people with trampolines not take them down or tie them down when a storm is coming

have you ever tried taking one down and then putting it back up without the instruction manual that has surely perished in the last 5 years or so :)

'Come not between the Nazgul and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye.’

They never said anything about that on the weather forecast.
 
Not much respite for Ireland. They’ve got another storm coming Sunday/Monday.

Doesn’t look as strong, but it’ll hamper reinstalling the power and othe infrastructure damaged.
 
Despite this storm, my wife has managed to make a 620 mile journey from Buckinghamshire to Wick in Caithness, in 2 stages via her sisters in Kirkcaldy Fife, for a funeral tomorrow, and she will have to do the return journey starting on Sunday morning.

Not a pleasant journey at the best of times. Wishing her travelling mercies, particularly on the A90.

My electricity came back at 9am this morning, Hopefully yours comes back soon as down the country got is worse than we did.

As long as your all safe and well that's the main thing. Hope your all OK.

Yeah; it was frightening, to be honest. Around 2-6 this morning was shocking, the worst I've ever seen. Record gust recorded in Connemara....

I'm without power, and could be for days, given the sheer number of outages around the country. The ESB are saying 725,000 customers are without power, and that it could be at least a week before Everyone has power fully restored.

A little bit of wind and the country comes to a standstill.

Aaah, humour.
You’ve gotta laugh, haven’t you?

I learnt loads on the news, not the weather.
There were some interesting things apart from the record wind speeds that were broken.
This was hurricane Beaufort scale 12 weather but it’s not classified as a hurricane as their depressions form over warm water and unleash when they hit cooler air over land.
This depression formed over cold land and picked up energy over warmer ocean of the North Atlantic.
If there is a drop of 24 millibars at the centre in a 24 hour period, what develops is called a weather bomb.
Just before Eowyn hit land over south west Ireland there was a drop of 52 millibars at the eye of the storm.
So yeah. It was a bit windy.
