Hi Pam, Yes. Ireland just suffered a hurricane-like storm called Ophelia. The entire island was on red alert. Everything shut down and everyone stayed inside on Monday as the storm swept over the country. Three people lost their lives, 300 thousand+ were without power and some still are. Lots of trees down and some coastal flooding. It was big news over here! Thankfully we came through it with only a loosened roof tile. Ophelia was a hurricane that stayed out in the Atlantic and didn't travel westward toward the States. In fact, it was the first time is recorded history that a hurricane appeared that far east in the Atlantic basin. At one point it was a Categary 3, but was weakened by the time it slamed into Ireland. Nevertheless, lots of damage was done, but not so much in Sligo. We were very lucky! Hope you are keeping well! xRuby
