Is it just me or are some people in the south of ireland major exaggerators of the wind speed? Was up last night reading that boards.ie forum and honestly I couldn't quite get my mind on what they were going on about. We had a 70mph gust here which while strong is not really that bad, they had winds maybe just a bit stronger and they were going on all night as if they were getting hurricane speeds. They even managed to congratulate a pilot who landed an A330 aircraft in 50mph winds... um??? Maybe its just me, but I didn't think the winds were all that strong last night. IMO the storms we have had in NI have been nothing in comparison to the storms we used to have. Just found out that Dublin's winds only reached 70mph, so there you go. They were most certainly exaggerating.
