Three weeks after Storm Éowyn, the impact is still very visible around Salthill.
This sycamore sported a bold dog's-leg limb with more growth than the original trunk, next an old path in its valley in #Edinburgh. Until Storm #Eowyn last month caused ...
Only in #Ireland would the #iepol reaction to a winter storm made far worse by #globalwarming be "Cut down *MOAR* trees!"
They really don't get it do they?

"Feb 2, 2025
Storm Éowyn was the worst storm to hit the island of Ireland in over 80 years. Thousands of trees were destroyed but the majority of those trees had one thing in common..."

Power cuts and transport chaos as Storm Eowyn hits Ireland and UK https://phys.org/news/2025-01-power-chaos-storm-eowyn-ireland.html
I've managed to get a train, from #London heading home towards #Scotland, after the trail of destruction on the rail network due to Friday's storm #Eowyn.
I can only get to #carlisle, which is on the England and Scotland border, but my other half is driving down to collect me. At least it's only an hour's drive home.
I'm going home to a village that's had no electricity for over 52 hours so far; it will be challenging. But at least I will be home.
I will have no Internet either!!
But a Breeze: That, for sure it wasn’t. We are used to windy weather in Scotland, and storms hitting 60-70mph are normal this time of the year, but Éowyn was something else. I have never experienced anything of this sort, and at the hight of it thought more than once my office window was going to get blown in by the prolonged gusts. And the windchill took me by complete surprise, we were struggling to keep the house warm, inspite of it being 5C or so outside. ... #environment, #storm, #éowyn: https://aye.tf/2025/01/25/but-a-breeze
