What's the deal with all the hyped up storms with names nowadays?

Well, that was a bit of a nothingburger (YMMV)

Thankfully yes. Lost a few trees but nothing serious. Firewood for next winter.
Quiet here now, with sleety showers and the power's gone but we have gas stoves and wood burners. Curled up on couch with the hounds.

Well that sounds cosy enough

Sorry to hear your power's gone. No interruption here. Windy, the odd bin strewn about the place and car alarm going off but nothing very serious

I think a leaf fell off the tree opposite ....

Lots of trees, slates, roadsigns, haysheds down here in Roscommon. No electricty or water. Phone signals poor and broadband down.
Not a drop of bottled water to be got in the shops, except the fizzy stuff. Wonder what tae is like made with the fizzy stuff.

I feel for you. This was a the worst storm in my memory, with the worst impact on infrastructure. We'll laugh about it eventually but the cleanup will take weeks. And there is a new gale blowing here at the moment.
Sick to my teeth of weather.
Hope your services come back soon!!
