Today we sadly commemorate the Kingston Road bus shelter in Galway, cruelly taken from us by #StormEowyn.
The tempest passed in hours; one year later the City Council & National Transport Authority still struggle to cope with the trauma. We stand in the rain, bow our heads and pray for deliverance.
This Saturday marks the anniversary of #StormEowyn, the worst storm ever to hit the country.
One year on and promised storm supports are still not in place
This government has to do better

In January #StormEowyn hit the country. Dolphins Barn firefighters responded to a scaffolding collapse in Harold's Cross during the storm.
Dead tree and detritus on grass
We lost our second tree this calendar year. Lost a massive apparently healthy cherry tree to #StormEowyn in January and last night lost a long-dead hawthorn to #StormBram. In both cases we heard nothing and no secondary damage.
We think the hawthorn below fell in a tribute to Andy Goldsworthy.
By way of comparison, #StormEowyn produced a *gust* of 183 km/h in Ireland, which was a record.

We moved to rural Ireland a year ago and lose electricity every few months, usually for a day or so (one week was the longest after #StormEowyn). Love reading but get very twitchy without TV/internet after a few hours. And reading by candlelight is hard. So yes, I did start going to bed at 8pm...

Out for a wild walk before #StormAmy hits Clare for real. Love me a good storm. There's no bad weather, only bad clothing, and all that...
Say a little prayer for my #StormEowyn damaged ancient Horse Chestnut tree though 😬🙏 She's lopsided and heavy with leaves.
The new system underwent successful live trials in Mayo.

#StormEowyn was the UK’s most powerful wind storm for over a decade, a 100mph wind gust was recorded in #Lanarkshire.
💨Impacts: @metoffice.gov.uk issued a Red Warning for wind, and wider Amber Warning. Unfortunately there were 2 fatalities, 1m homes without power & thousands of trees blown down.
Thank you. The storm in January was awful for the harm done to Wildflowers. #StormÉowyn #StormEowyn
I walked past the #StormEowyn log piles up at Mongorry Forest. It took three minutes. This is the video speeded up. That's a lot of Pulp.

Yellow dots of paint on a piece of wood
*Trigger* stillbirth
Our local park lost several magnificent trees in #StormEowyn. @lisburncastlereagh.bsky.social agreed to provide our local community arts group with a selection of rounds.
Several local #artists are now working on a collaborative project to create pieces on the former trees

Photo of wood fuelled in woodland - it looks like a right mess!
We finally had a tree surgeon in yesterday to clear some fallen trees from #StormEowyn - lots of work to do now in clearing & stocking up the wood shed! But I also met a new neighbour who's a bit shy but I reckon they can be won over with carrots... #MayoLife #Woodland
92,000 applications have been made to the Department of Social Protection's humanitarian assistance scheme and is still open.

May Day flowers! So much lost during #StormEowyn (that I'm only just discovering) but life finds a way. Joyous Bealtaine blessings! #MayDay2025 #itsthesimplethings

Half of back fence was damaged during #StormEowyn Although it's ours (we think!) neighbours behind had previously paid for replacement as former owners here were tricky over it. So they're bearing cost of replacement, but we needed 6 posts replacing. (Panels not great but have been salvaged.)
The clean up from #StormEowyn, one of the worst storm in a century has cost Scots councils £5million. Schools, libraries, council depots, harbours, roads and houses were damaged.

It's turned it into a wonderful interactive work of art which kids can explore and clamber all over. I don't know who it's by, but it's been signed by the artist (bottom right photo)

Love these sculptures carved into a single tree which came down in Victoria Park in Glasgow during Storm Eowyn, which hit the city in January 2025.

The balustrade has already been deemed unsafe after #StormEowyn and requires replacement.
Guy behind us had also mentioned that the newly installed much promoted air heatsource pump, is very noisy.
Was getting washing in earlier and became aware of a new noise, which can only be said pump.

I've since binned the 2010 G1 as it has really nasty case of sticky plastic disease.
Incursion in the #greenhouse. This is why until it's fixed from #StormEowyn I'm not putting seedlings in there.
