Gust of 136km in North Mayo at our personal weather station took the power out @carlowweather.bsky.social

Huge hail and torrential rain in North Mayo. Water standing on fields and gutters overflowing, continuous thunder for the last hour.

Expecting flash flooding in North Mayo @carlowweather.bsky.social

Now RCH4554, another C17 USAF, outbound Shannon.

Are we expecting a visitor to West Clare ?

Unusually high amount of US military activity at Shannon today. Transports RCH4562 (C17) from Rammstein and RANGR91 C130J out of Oslo on the decent just now, and another C17 on the tarmac earlier today.

Anyone know what's going on?

My daily time spent has nearly completely shifted to Bluesky now, mainly because most people I want to follow are here. #speirgorm
