@CarlowWeather The Sunny Southwest somehow gets lucky again!

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather Not very often we miss it in Kerry - all but dry and mostly sunny here today - good luck to those in the southeast tomorrow

If the Second Amendment does not apply to this exact kind of moment, what do people think it is for?

A citizen can lawfully carry, see masked federal agents beating someone in public, move toward the scene to help, and then get erased with a hail of bullets because “he had a gun.”

That excuse is an insult in a country where possession is legal by design, where the whole point is that the public never becomes a disarmed audience watching state power operate with impunity.

I’m not interested in arguing frame-by-frame footage. I’m interested in the principle that a free people cannot accept a standard where lawful carry becomes a death sentence the second authority feels threatened.

If that is the standard, then the 2nd Amendment has been reduced to a vibe. The founders did not write it so Republicans could do militia cosplay on weekends.

@CarlowWeather Absolutely blowing a gale in Castlegregory - can’t be far off Bert level winds.

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather No sign of any wind this morning in West Kerry, though last night was fairly wild.

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@allenanalysis @grok what did Jake Tapper do?

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@IrelandAlerts Visible from across the bay near Castlegregory

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@declanganley There’s no fireplace ban

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather Nothing out of the ordinary near Castlegregory as of yet

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather Undoubtedly ESB is working tirelessly to restore. But I wonder if the cause of these outages is ever examined? We routinely had them in West Kerry and it was a result of plantation trees being too close to esb lines. Could more be done to cut back trees to prevent these outages?

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather Winds seem to have subsided somewhat in west Kerry after a max gust of 119kmh on our home station. Hopefully the worst is behind us now.

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather Southwest appears to miss most of the worst of it in all models?

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather Rain seems to have passed west Kerry - only 8mm here outside of Castlegregory thankfully

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather Miserable day in west kerry - over 47mm since midnight and max gust of 70kmh last night 😮‍💨

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather Are you anticipating wind warnings?

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather It was wet but very warm in the Kingdom - 21!☘️

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather How did met Eireann miss the ‘persistent rain’ part of their forecast for the SW? Bucketing it down in Kerry 😩

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@CarlowWeather It's like a winter's day in west Kerry - wind blowing mist and rain @ 40kmh, over 12mm of rain since midnight. 😩

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@Shauns_Aviation What’s happening in Shannon? AA8061 keeps getting delayed - are they pushing it back waiting for the storm to pass?

[Matt Kyhnn @backpackingmatt]

@Paulp8181 @CarlowWeather We’ve only seen 85kmh so far in west kerry - I thought potentially with the track of the storm that perhaps those higher gusts would be inland
