Blowing a storm

Its blowing up a real storm here in Mayo. With very heavy rain forecast I went down to the beach just before the rain started to get a picture for today, it was very dark and not very inspiring but I made a picture anyway. since then things have really deteriorated huge wind, trees falling and power cuts, it has just come back on here a few minutes ago so I thought I would post while I could. They even adviced on the news this evening that people should stay away from the shore and not be trying to see the high waves... So I have been grounded!!!
