Storm Dave Batters Ireland, 20K Without Power

0:00On April 4, Storm Dave is ripping through Ireland with fierce winds, leaving around 2,000 homes without power in Northern Ireland, hitting. Villages like Newtown Hamilton, in County Armagh, and Seaford in County Down, the hardest. Across the border in the Republic of Ireland, the outages are even bigger, with 18,000 homes, farms, and businesses in the darkest crews. From ESB Network's hustle, to fixed lines where it's safe. Yellow weather warnings kicked off around 1 p.m., or 2 p.m., local time Saturday, and run until 2 or 3 a.m. Sunday, with gusts possibly hitting, 80 miles per hour tonight. Countels shut down public spots like parks, forests, and country areas, urging folks to steer clear of cliffs and rough coasts, while the met office, flagged risks of damage and travel chaos from the jump. Ferry runs from Belfast to Scotland got scrubbed, and Dublin Airport saw 17 flights canceled, plus 53 go-arounds, and 13.

1:00Diversions from those brutal winds up to 44 knots, expect some Sunday hiccups too, so hit up your airline. Wind should calm later tomorrow, getting life back on track.
