Funny old weather in places. In Clonee in Meath a couple of days ago a whirl wind shook the area and even turned a van upside down. Mary Bermingham was travelling down to Shannonbridge and told of branches of trees falling on her car when passing through that area.
Seems that Moycullen over in Galway got a bit of the same yesterday.
The weather forecast today is for cloudy and windy this morning with scattered outbreaks of rain, turning heavy and persistent. Brighter conditions with sunny spells and some showers will follow and winds will ease hopefully in time for the table quiz tonight in aid of the Tsunami relief fund.
River levels are high at present with all callows in flood. Noticed some uncut grass showing above the floodwater gleaming golden colour and looking like cowboy country.
Lorraine from Pottstown sends thanks to Declan and Rose for the inputs over Christmas and wonders how the Bird Count is working out. The parish newsletter is a welcome addition.
Would be great if our girl in Japan would send a few inputs on how things are over in that country and did the Tsunami have any effect.
