MALIN HEAD
Stormy weekend
Malin Head weathered the storms over the weekend. Despite high tides and gale-force winds, the predicted flooding did not affect the area. Heavy hail showers and dark skies made it tempting to stay indoors. The conditions did produce dramatic seascapes though, for those brave enough to watch.
