Pre-storm checks can help avoid future problems as we remain in storm season. Pic: Larry Cummins
Hello Kieran. I wonder if you can help me. As I lay awake listening to the storm blow over my house recently, I thought I should really have prepared more in advance of this weather event. Are there fairly standard things people should watch out for or prepare for in advance of what has now become our ‘storm season’?
Thank you — Ruby, Wicklow
