VIDEO: Powerful winds ravage Tralee

This video below is just an example of the extreme weather battering the country at present.

The video from Tralee Bay Wetlands Centre shows the wind literally blowing paddle boats off the water.

Several park benches now reside in the lake at the centre as well as part of the obstacle course.
