Storm Betty

 



We in Mayo were spared the worst of Storm Betty. We had wind and rain but not the worst. It appears that Cork and Wicklow were most affected - Cork with flooding and Wicklow with wind taking down trees and power lines. 

Alex added a couple of kites this week. I am glad they survived Storm Betty. The highest gust was 42.7 knots at 0800h today. We got 2.9 mm of rain overnight. Now for a bit of sunshine.

The Atlantic Hurricane season seems to be coming to life with four disturbances being tracked by the NWS. They are all going to head east to west according to projections. Hopefully, we won't get one coming our way this year. 

As an aside, Alex moved the Century Black Demon from the garage into the shed today. The garage is becoming manageable territory.
