We must be in the eye of the storm.
The weather in Belfast has been great all day. Lots of sunshine and blue skies.

Our recycling bin blew over - lucky I wuz at work - could've scratched my luverly car.
We've had hailstones, thunder, horizontal rain and brilliant sunshine. All the bad stuff was in squalls - seen worse without the fuss. The Met office like to cover their proverbials after the Michael Fish hurricane.
Not being complacent though - there's more to come apparently and I'm in quite a sheltered part of the country. Went to choir practice tonight, got out of the car, quite a gale in Hove - tree in front of car going "Creeeeeeaaaak - Creeeeeeeeeeeeeak" Got back in and moved it sharpish!
The sum total of my problems at the mo' are bloody wild ducks in my fishpond. They don't eat fish, and there's no weed for them to dibble through, so they dive to the bottom and sift through the silt - now the pond filter is clogged and I have to clean it in this weather.
Anyway - take care everyone.

Safe so far down here. Major power cut last evening. Occasional flickering of power at the moment.
Heavy rain started about an hour ago. Winds now picking up. Looks like we are in for another rough night.
Forecast cannot be that bad though as the military jets are still flying from the base. They do not fly on their 1.5 hour sorties unless they know for sure that they can get back in...

Two ferry trips in such a short timespace? She must be a sucker for punishment!
If it's any comfort to you at all, Alan, the ferry companies are well used to rough seas between Ireland and England, and would be likely to cancel the sailing if things were going to be extremely bad. If she's sailing with Stena, they certainly wouldn't put on the mega fast ferries in exceptionally rough conditions; and to the best of my knowledge, the rest of their fleet have stabilisers to mitigate the effects of heavy swells. I hope your daughter has good sea legs!
