IT’S FIERCE WINDY all over the country, with a yellow wind warning status issued for Donegal, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Clare and Kerry yesterday.

Galway was especially terrifying.

Whoops!

Perhaps one of the best illustrations of JUST how bad it was in Galway was posted on the Facebook account, Picture Diary of a Galway Lady.

The video shows a man attempting to walk on the prom and well, he’s struggling.

She notes it was taken at about 3pm yesterday on the Salthill prom.

Maybe he was just doing a little dance?
