Hey everyone, thought we’d post this now instead of our usual Sunday. We are getting so many questions and messages that we thought this might help. A huge thank you for all of your messages of concern, as you can see we are ok, just everything around us that’s a bit worse for wear 🤣🤦♀️
Don’t know if I’m more impressed that 1 you survived 2 you ain’t moaning about it 3 your not dramatising it 4 the cabin lasted 5 you got a video out Just happy your all ok tho . Sending all our love
So glad you’re all ok. My hubby has said instead of replacing that broken patio slab, fix the crack with concrete and scratch the name of the storm and the date as a memento of getting through it. :)
This is why I love RUclips and following genuine, beautiful people like you! I was genuinely worried for you and watching this video was more dramatic and at the same time more heartwarming than any Tv drama. AJ and Summer have the best parents and that must have been the longest night ever, worrying about what was going on outside but at the same time trying to comfort your animals. Even Roland had a mention! Such a positive attitude, yes a fair bit of damage (understatement) but seeing the funny side and also making the best of it, a roof taken down for you and a partially demolished wall - free labour! It all made great content if nothing else! Good luck with the repairs to the van and what an excellent job you made of the cabin! Everything after this will be a “breeze!” ❤️
I actually cried when you were in the van and I could see all of you so frightened (I’m 64 it was the mum/nan in me!) I’m so glad you are all safe, your tenacity and the ability to make a positive out of a negative is amazing, knowing you have so much to do and not fazed by it, I do so admire you, you are both such great people. Continue to keep safe x
Gosh same here just feeling so proud of them and to get a video post out to us all because they knew we would all be worried was so reassuring and thats why they have such a great tribe of followers.
Glad you are all safe it's gave you extra work than needed hope AJ and summer are ok he didn't need it little chap I noticed they were a bit worried about the weather thought I'd mention maybe calmex may help them it's a natural calmer which is safe you can get it for dogs and cats I give it to my dogs and it really helps love Chris and Andrew xxxx❤
I love your positivity Louise, you see the advantages in a desperate situation. I'm so glad you are all OK but it must have been terrifying at times. The fact that your cabin survived with no damage is a testament to your skills, well done girl ❤
Glad to see you’re all safe. AJ’s digging was funny, bless him and loved how you were both comforting him in the storm ❤ poor Summer looked very scared
When he was going back to it & Louise shouted over, "don't you go digging", he turned & looked at her as though to say, "who me? I'm not doing anything. I'm not going digging cos I'm a good boy" 😁
Glad you guys survived and that you had minimal damage. I agree that it was the worst we ever had. We are outside Ballinrobe in Mayo alongside Lough Mask and it was scary. Our electricity only came back on on Monday but what makes it worse is that we are still without water making basic sanitation difficult.
awwww M'darlin's, I clicked on this quicker than those wind speeds to find out how you were fairing!! SO relieved to see you all got through that and it brought a tear to my eye to see you caring for your pets during that traumatic experience. I lived in Mississippi in the 80's, went through many a hurricane ( and there are always tornadoes within it!...which is probably what carried things into the next field), I had a 2 year old daughter to keep safe while my husband worked away and we'd be in an internal cupboard until everything had passed. It certainly brought all that back to me!. Of course the cabin was safe with the level of care and workmanship that went into it!! SO bloody proud of you both and glad to see you all safe and sound. Much love from Kent. xx
You two are brilliant. So upbeat and positive. So glad you are all safe and well. Things can be fixed. Love how you love and take care of AJ and Summer ❤
I'm in the southwest of Scotland and the same storm produced local windspeeds of 108 - 122mph on people's own weather stations and anemometers. Thankfully the red warning was issued, it saved a lot of lives with there being so many trees down. Many people still lack power, and roads are still closed, with many trees down. Not the worst we've had, but the worst for over 10 years anyway in this area.
You are both amazing, love your attitude towards life, in the face of adversity you don’t flap or crumble, you rise, you make jokes and keep each other going! I have the upmost respect for you both, know you have this!! So glad you 4 are safe as that’s the main thing, massive hugs from us all ❤
OMG! When I realized you were going to ride out a hurricane force storm in a van🫣😱 I’ve been through many a strong storm like this and you two were incredibly blessed to survive this…the one thing everyone does in a storm this strong is evacuate from trailers and other light weight structures. I would have boarded up one of the buildings and hunkered down, or left. WOW! Thanks for taking us along.
It brought tears to my eyes when you were all so frightened.. I had to remind myself that you had posted the video so you must be OK.. Thank God, bless you girls.. Endless blessings to all xxxx❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
The care you gave to your fur babies is a credit to you, they don’t understand what’s going on, and you did your best to try and reassure them, despite probably being pretty petrified yourselves too. Hope the clean up not too bad.
Omg glad your all ok I'm in central Scotland and had a red warning here too . Poor AJ looked terrified bless him I love how even with all the damage your property suffered you still managed to laugh and stay positive you definitely did the right thing hunkering down in the van .
Thank you so much for uploading the update asap. I, and I 😊guess a lot of your followers have been worried about how you fared during the storm. Glad to know the damage wasn’t as bad as it could have been.
Wow you two are braver than me, I would have been hysterical, thank you for posting so quickly and so relieved you are all safe. Thought about you all, including Sam and Becks, they took a hammering also. By the grace of God all of you and your animals are safe and well. Love you positive attitudes ❤️❤️
Irish Determination and Spirit on Display !!! So thankful that y’all came through okay and keep moving forward. I was fortunate enough to visit Ireland in 1999 and it was the most amazing experience of my life. I hope to return soon. Blessings and Mr. AJ did incredible through the storm, I have a pup that has storm anxiety and she never does that well.
We live near ye, that storm was a beast. We've created some ways to protect structures against storms like this. All cheap bodge job stuff but it worked, 0 damage and this area got walloped with that storm. Great videos folks, your pets were just like ours, got very scared of the storm, we stayed in our van too as it was tried and tested, but since our bodge job storm proofing worked so well, next time we won't need the van.
New sub! My mum comes from Ballyhaunis in co. mayo, Love Ireland! Sounds like you had a bloody scary night, even more stressful with terrified pets. Hopefully you have power now.
Living in hurricane country in the US, I was terrified watching this for you 2 & your kidz! Lots of clean up, but ultimately, everyone made it through! Whew! (I cried..., I know what it's like)
I am just across the water in SW Scotland . Also a red warning. We only have a few fences down. No power yet, spare gas cooker from van, and the lights that were already charged up, thankfully.and we are lucky we kept our coal fire after electric heating system was put in . Our wee lhasa apso dog has cushings disease and needs to pee 30 times a day, so we had to take her out in it, and she is up at night too. So I felt sorry for AJ and Summer. We are over the worst, still windy, but the sun is shining, and it is beautiful. Everything fixable girls. I'm glad you are all okay. Michelle x
Glad to see you both safely out the other side of the storm with manageable levels of damage. Like yourselves, I spent the night reassuring our animals that all was well & that we'd be fine; they make us brave......
Thank goodness you got through that it looked so frightening ,I'm a 73 year old mum and nan and I just wanted to save you from it, the look on all your faces furbabies included was horrible I could see how scared you all were and I was so releaved when the wind dropped and you were all safe .Much love and hugs to you all .xx❤🐱🐕
22:58 AJ comforting Lou even though he is clearly shaken up himself just melts my heart. So glad you are all safe and well. I don't think i have ever known your laborer be so quiet without a snack in her hands 🤣🤣🤣 Time to start building an underground bunker for the next storm. Even here in the uk i have never known winds so strong 🌬🌬🌬
Even though you had posted and reassured us you all were fine, I watched this with great anxiety and sadness. You have both been working so hard and have already met so many challenges head on and with such strength and resilience. It didn’t seem fair. But then to see how positive you both remained…how you supported each other and buoyed each other up. It is so heartening. You two are an amazing couple and amazing people. I hope your snack cupboard is forever replenished, and that Lou’s hats are forever more at hand.
Ustedes 2 chicas, son todo lo que está bien en éste mundo!❤ Priorizaron la seguridad de sus mascotas, transitaron éste evento, como una verdadera familia: unida!!!❤
So pleased to see you're all ok. AJ and Summer were clearly stressed, but you were with them to let them know they were ok. Glass half full Lou! Such a great attitude from you both. Lots of love
Thank God you are all safe. That looked so scary, poor AJ and Summer, they don't understand about storms, but what they do understand is the love and reassurance they got from you both throughout that scary night.
Aww girls so sorry for all your damage, thank goodness all of ye are safe. Hopefully the clean up won't set ye back to much. We'll done on your bravery during the storm ❤
I live in Florida USA so hurricanes are, unfortunately, common. The last one we had here was Helene, a category 4. It was terrifying but we survived. We only had $100 worth of damage. The rest was cleanup. I'm still amazed. God protected us. Glory to God. I'm glad you guys are ok and you have no more damage than you did. Stuff is only stuff. Lives are what counts.
That was absolutely terrifying-and we were safe in our den watching your video! We are so glad you are all ok and so very sorry for all the damage and clean up. Humor is the only way to survive these things.
As an American, I never knew how scary it would be to watch people who've never been through this before ride it out. The banging on the roof and the walls can be so creepy during a storm when you're in a solidly built house let alone a van! I was also worried during the first bit of the video that you'd leave the benches and stuff out and then relieved when you brought them in. I'm glad you heeded the warnings and glad you're all okay! I hope all your neighbors and your vanlife friends are okay, too.
Its just some wind. Not a tornado. We've honestly had worse storms that weren't dramatised like this before so I dont know why everyone freaked out. Probably because the weather alerts etc just shows you that the media can make you more scared than you should be. Trees and roofs fly off all the time lol their poor dog was being stressed out by their stress.
@ We’ve had worse storms here, too. We’re used to them as I’m sure you are. It’s a lot different when you’re not. I bet you don’t like it when other people make fun of you complaining about weather they’re used to and you’re not.
@@xxxxOS Without the weather alert 1000s of people would have been on the roads trying to make their way into or home from work. I'm a bus driver and without the red warning I would've been required to go to work. Unless you've ever driven a high sided vehicle you have no idea what it's like to get hit with a blast of wind from the side and have the steering wheel wrenched from your hand and have the bus/truck blown completely out of its lane. Now imagine sharing a road with bicycles and scooters when that happens. Not that I would have got to work because I live outside Dublin and the N2 and M3 were blocked with downed trees.
@gerardsavage1145 We need common sense. I'm from the UK and we've had worse storms recently which didnt have all these alerts. I understand heavy load vehicles not operating but most of the areas that were alerted had barely any wind so that was a huge hit to our economy for no reason never mind the kids being kept home from school AGAIN like keeping them off school for 2 years during covid didn't wreck their education enough. I'm sorry but you are allowing yourself and your nation to waltz into an authoritarian nanny state with this mentality and inability for nuance. I dont know what the first response is even yapping about the UK & Ireland have storms all the time way worse than the one that just happened. The alert caused so much anxiety and confusion amongst older people. This is a punishment society which wants everyone highly stressed, sick and making wallstreet lots of money. Even at the expense of our health and nations economy.
Thank goodness the 4 of you are safe! Many hearts were with you during this terrible storm - the fear during one can be so nerve-wracking. Please take care and continue to be safe, gals.
So glad your both safe and that Aj and Summer have both settled down again I live just over the water from you in the stranraer area power on and off no internet but safe ❤️😊
Thank you for letting us know that you are all ok. I can’t believe how positive you are with all that you have been through and all the damage you have sustained. You are both amazing xx
Oh WOW! I cannot believe you managed to get a video out so quickly. I was thinking of you all, and worried about the barn, and i'm so happy you came off relatively lightly. AJ digging was i'm sure him sensing the danger of the incoming hurricane. Your preparation was timely and well done. I hope your neighbours don't have too much damage as well. Take care. Love, Jo in France 🇫🇷
I've officially got my Dad hooked on your videos...he's been away for weeks, since before Christmas, so he's now binge watching, resulting in me re-watching the last 6 weeks of videos.... Some of it is (even more) hilarious knowing now what you've been through with the storms 😂😂 He's yet to get that far... Little does he know!! 😂
I was really worried about you all. So glad you are all safe. I think AJ was trying to find a way out of the complex thinking he would avoid the storm. You were both so calm i think that helped the fur babies?
Sitting in that van with the rocking and the barn roof flying around would of been quite scary pleased to see you both and your animals are all OK. Well Louise your building done you justice still intact.Well another day passes let the cleaning begin.Stay safe and soldier on.❤😊
😮😮😮Wow!!!😮😮😮 Just WOW!!😮😮 I've been in some storms here where I live in Texas, but dang!!! I'm so happy to see you are both OK, your babies are OK and your property didn't have too much damage. I love the way you help each other. I just found your channel, watched your video and am hooked!! You are in Ireland!!! A place I want to see before I meet my maker. I have ancestors from Ireland. I live your accents!! I will be watching y'all all the time. Thank you!! ❤❤❤❤❤
So glad that you guys are OK, poor AJ and Summer really needed your hugs that night. I’ve got to say that you have a great attitude about the damage. I would advise reusing the corrugated roof panels, as modern ones are often very thin and much poorer quality.
Loved seeing the video, I'm in Donegal and we had a lot of damage too, we also had no electricity for 3 days, which felt like a lifetime! I noticed your poor fur babies were absolutely terrified, I have 8 cats and the one thing they and most animals need in situations like that storm was for them to be able to go UNDER something, they would feel more secure if you had a bed or even a table to sit under, we also have 3 dogs and they just needed a lot of reassurance from us!
I’m a 65 yo Aussie women with diverse interest on RUclips. I love Reno, sheep farming across the world , hiking, camping , animals and mudlarking. Anything Irish is a bonus I think your videography especially POV is excellent. I love your music also. Your Reno explanations are quick & precise. Great job…. I love the way you cared for the fur babies during the storm. I would have popped kitty in the wicker chest 😉 Pupster was quite anxious but a lot are during storms. You can try music to deafen out the banging. Thanks for providing interesting videos 👍✌️
You two just have the BEST attitude to life ❤ I’m in the north of Ireland and I was in a house and that storm was scary, never mind being in a van under a years old rusty barn with half of it wedged up against your van !!! That was intense !! So proud of your positivity, to see damage as a ‘favour’ !!! You two are just the BEST ❤
I'm so pleased you're all safe. When I was watching the worst in the middle of the night, I was holding my breath, so scary. As you said it can all be put right. The wall of the snug/office is the most scary. It shows how powerful the wind is. Sending you all hugs, especially poor AJ, be safe, with love Sue and Bryn xx
Jeez! What a night! Glad you're all okay. Moved by your glass half full thinking and the love between your little family. Honestly, the way you assess situations and get to the heart of the matter is quite something.
Crikey what an horrendous time you've had, it must have been terrifying. I'm guessing the barn will have to come down altogether now. Well done for keeping on smiling and staying positive. Thanks for sharing
Much Love 💕 from SW Florida Ya’ll are adorbs 🥰 been thru a few cat 3s, the nighttime ones are the worse (hurricane Ian was a monster) but never in cold 🥶 cold temperatures .. brr great job for your first time, you’re real pros Things can be replaced and rebuilt; so grateful you were safe and sound ❤❤ Stay Strong 💪🏽 💪🏽 🐕🐈⬛
Well done putting this video out considering the amount of issues you have to sort out. Bravo for the hut build Louise, the worst recorded storm ever and it just took it. Well done. Very proud of both of you. 👏👏. 👋🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🇮🇪
Glad you're all ok ❤ our top estimate where I am was 93mph at mid day 😢 There were roofs coming off in the streets all round me. Never have I been so glad to NOT have a flat style roof!
Well done you 4, gotta admire your dedication to publishing videos and updating us, amidst carnage! Thanks, I’m sure from the many, for letting us know how you’re doing and allaying our fears, worries, concerns. Yet to watch this one but just wanted to let you know we adore your dynamic and positivity. All the best Andrew Jo Bisc & Bay.
Glad you and your animals are safe. The roof was ripped off my tenement building in southern Scotland in Storm Eunice a couple of years ago. We are still recovering from that damage. Storms are frightening.
Dear dog! Glad to see you're all alive, if a little battered, bruised, and shaken. Totally not the type of "if the van's a rockin..." to leave you breathless in a good way! Thanks for keeping us all updated! 😊

Hey everyone, thought we’d post this now instead of our usual Sunday. We are getting so many questions and messages that we thought this might help.
A huge thank you for all of your messages of concern, as you can see we are ok, just everything around us that’s a bit worse for wear 🤣🤦♀️
What a lovely notification to wake up to, glad you're all doing okay.
So glad to see you got through it alive.
A STORM like that is SOOOOO SCAREY, I'm glad you girls are OK, I'm glad ur van is ok
Hi Em and Lou,keep safe x
Thank you for posting early and you 4 are safe.
Don’t know if I’m more impressed that
1 you survived
2 you ain’t moaning about it
3 your not dramatising it
4 the cabin lasted
5 you got a video out
Just happy your all ok tho . Sending all our love
Totally agree, respect. 🇬🇧
you’re stars ✨ calm ones in the face of all that frightening storm!
Couldn’t agree more! Well said!
yes they rock
Cheers Neil, it’s been hard going keeping calm but you know me (your favourite) always the trooper 🤣🤣🤣
So glad you’re all ok.
My hubby has said instead of replacing that broken patio slab, fix the crack with concrete and scratch the name of the storm and the date as a memento of getting through it. :)
That sounds perfect!
@@l4ura5 great idea
Great idea! ❤
Cracked but not broken! 😂
@@angelaphilpott9563 I see what you did there. 😄
American life long hurricaine veteran here, you guys were champions. Great job riding it out safely! I wish you all the best with recovery.

Only you two could turn this into a positive... " the wall is down, but its done me a favour".... excellent attitude. glad you're all safe.
🙌😀
👍😄
I do love the glass is half full attitude!
Never clicked so fast on a video before. You have been on my mind. So glad to see an update. Now to settle and watch the video.
Me too
Me too .🙏🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
If I'd had their phone number I would have called
Me too. So glad you are all ok ❤
Me too!

Me too and I am 63 too, it’s because we have lived through big winds in the 70s and 80s.
No just you madge, love these inspirational gals & it made my eyes leak too ❤
Me too. I’m 62 , been worried about them all day. Poor AJ and Summer you could see the fear in their body language.
Glad you are all safe it's gave you extra work than needed hope AJ and summer are ok he didn't need it little chap I noticed they were a bit worried about the weather thought I'd mention maybe calmex may help them it's a natural calmer which is safe you can get it for dogs and cats I give it to my dogs and it really helps love Chris and Andrew xxxx❤
Good job girls. You are safe,that’s all that’s important 🇨🇦🍻✌️
I adored hearing the moment "everything we built, it's still Standing"
Y'all Rock!
love from NM, USA😊
such good pet parents-I love how you both center your pets when the tough gets going
I love your positivity Louise, you see the advantages in a desperate situation. I'm so glad you are all OK but it must have been terrifying at times. The fact that your cabin survived with no damage is a testament to your skills, well done girl ❤
It might be odd but I have always loved high winds, and lived through some right belters down the years. I slept through it all.
Louise has skills for sure…
Thank you
Glad to see you’re all safe. AJ’s digging was funny, bless him and loved how you were both comforting him in the storm ❤ poor Summer looked very scared
I was fretting about all the new homesteaders in Ireland. Will probably find out how they faired tomorrow. So pleased you 4 are okay.
Yeah it was not a nice time for them, they did settle once we was in our little huddle
I think maybe AJ was trying to dig a bunker for everyone.
When he was going back to it & Louise shouted over, "don't you go digging", he turned & looked at her as though to say, "who me? I'm not doing anything. I'm not going digging cos I'm a good boy" 😁
Your comforting the furbabies is so beautiful.
And I think the baby had an anxiety jacket on.
Glad you guys survived and that you had minimal damage. I agree that it was the worst we ever had. We are outside Ballinrobe in Mayo alongside Lough Mask and it was scary.

Over there you guys get some crazy storms and stuff right, I bet that was scary as well.
You two are brilliant. So upbeat and positive. So glad you are all safe and well. Things can be fixed. Love how you love and take care of AJ and Summer ❤

My heart was in my mouth watching that footage of the roof coming off. I’m glad you’re all safe.

Thank you 🙂

Thanks for posting such a quick update after your traumatic night. Glad you’re all safe and your cabin survived a pretty strong test!
Glad y’all ok. This would be akin to a Cat 2 hurricane. Seen many of them while living in Florida. Love your positive attitude.
Good on you for being so brave. Thankfully yous and pets are safe. Love watching your videos. And your great work .your cottage is gonna be beautiful

So glad you are all ok and that the damage wasn’t worse. I hope your neighbors are all ok too!❤❤
22:58 AJ comforting Lou even though he is clearly shaken up himself just melts my heart. So glad you are all safe and well. I don't think i have ever known your laborer be so quiet without a snack in her hands 🤣🤣🤣 Time to start building an underground bunker for the next storm. Even here in the uk i have never known winds so strong 🌬🌬🌬
Even though you had posted and reassured us you all were fine, I watched this with great anxiety and sadness. You have both been working so hard and have already met so many challenges head on and with such strength and resilience. It didn’t seem fair. But then to see how positive you both remained…how you supported each other and buoyed each other up. It is so heartening. You two are an amazing couple and amazing people. I hope your snack cupboard is forever replenished, and that Lou’s hats are forever more at hand.
We're all relieved you are all ok. Watching you both comfort Summer & AJ when they were so afraid epitomised the meaning of love & family. Tricia
Ustedes 2 chicas, son todo lo que está bien en éste mundo!❤ Priorizaron la seguridad de sus mascotas, transitaron éste evento, como una verdadera familia: unida!!!❤
@@jaquelinawilhjelm6331 ¡si es verdad!
So glad to see you are all safe. Upsetting to see how stressed AJ and Summer were. Everything can be repaired / replaced but you 4 ❤️
So pleased to see you're all ok. AJ and Summer were clearly stressed, but you were with them to let them know they were ok. Glass half full Lou! Such a great attitude from you both. Lots of love
Congrats to yew both yew prepared and it paid off Good for yew💓
Thank God you are all safe. That looked so scary, poor AJ and Summer, they don't understand about storms, but what they do understand is the love and reassurance they got from you both throughout that scary night.
Aww girls so sorry for all your damage, thank goodness all of ye are safe. Hopefully the clean up won't set ye back to much. We'll done on your bravery during the storm ❤
Yeah just a re jig of the to do list 🤣
My brother calls it Global Storming. We're copping it worldwide atm.😮 glad you're all safe.❤
I live in Florida USA so hurricanes are, unfortunately, common. The last one we had here was Helene, a category 4. It was terrifying but we survived. We only had $100 worth of damage. The rest was cleanup. I'm still amazed. God protected us. Glory to God. I'm glad you guys are ok and you have no more damage than you did. Stuff is only stuff. Lives are what counts.
"God protected us" You must be very special people considering all those 'he' chose not to protect.
It’s crazy the storms you guys get, I couldn’t even imagine it
That was absolutely terrifying-and we were safe in our den watching your video! We are so glad you are all ok and so very sorry for all the damage and clean up. Humor is the only way to survive these things.
Bloody brave folks you are!! So glad you are okay.
As an American, I never knew how scary it would be to watch people who've never been through this before ride it out. The banging on the roof and the walls can be so creepy during a storm when you're in a solidly built house let alone a van! I was also worried during the first bit of the video that you'd leave the benches and stuff out and then relieved when you brought them in. I'm glad you heeded the warnings and glad you're all okay! I hope all your neighbors and your vanlife friends are okay, too.
Its just some wind. Not a tornado. We've honestly had worse storms that weren't dramatised like this before so I dont know why everyone freaked out. Probably because the weather alerts etc just shows you that the media can make you more scared than you should be. Trees and roofs fly off all the time lol their poor dog was being stressed out by their stress.
@ We’ve had worse storms here, too. We’re used to them as I’m sure you are. It’s a lot different when you’re not. I bet you don’t like it when other people make fun of you complaining about weather they’re used to and you’re not.
We've had worse. Though I wasn't in the centre we had some strong gusts. I remember one storm that flattered every caravan in a caravan park.

Without the weather alert 1000s of people would have been on the roads trying to make their way into or home from work. I'm a bus driver and without the red warning I would've been required to go to work. Unless you've ever driven a high sided vehicle you have no idea what it's like to get hit with a blast of wind from the side and have the steering wheel wrenched from your hand and have the bus/truck blown completely out of its lane. Now imagine sharing a road with bicycles and scooters when that happens. Not that I would have got to work because I live outside Dublin and the N2 and M3 were blocked with downed trees.
@gerardsavage1145 We need common sense. I'm from the UK and we've had worse storms recently which didnt have all these alerts. I understand heavy load vehicles not operating but most of the areas that were alerted had barely any wind so that was a huge hit to our economy for no reason never mind the kids being kept home from school AGAIN like keeping them off school for 2 years during covid didn't wreck their education enough. I'm sorry but you are allowing yourself and your nation to waltz into an authoritarian nanny state with this mentality and inability for nuance.
I dont know what the first response is even yapping about the UK & Ireland have storms all the time way worse than the one that just happened. The alert caused so much anxiety and confusion amongst older people. This is a punishment society which wants everyone highly stressed, sick and making wallstreet lots of money. Even at the expense of our health and nations economy.
Thank goodness the 4 of you are safe! Many hearts were with you during this terrible storm - the fear during one can be so nerve-wracking. Please take care and continue to be safe, gals.
Thank you, we will
Calm before the storm. The scariest part good heavens.
Watching from county Galway,lots of barns have lost there roofs,trees down everywhere and no power for five days.but we are safe!
So glad your both safe and that Aj and Summer have both settled down again I live just over the water from you in the stranraer area power on and off no internet but safe ❤️😊
Thank you for letting us know that you are all ok. I can’t believe how positive you are with all that you have been through and all the damage you have sustained. You are both amazing xx
That’s very sweet of you
Oh WOW! I cannot believe you managed to get a video out so quickly. I was thinking of you all, and worried about the barn, and i'm so happy you came off relatively lightly. AJ digging was i'm sure him sensing the danger of the incoming hurricane. Your preparation was timely and well done. I hope your neighbours don't have too much damage as well. Take care. Love, Jo in France 🇫🇷
Thanks Jo, I think we all did not too badly considering
So glad you ladies are safe and the damage was minimal .And thank you for taking the time to let us no you are safe and sound :)
I've officially got my Dad hooked on your videos...he's been away for weeks, since before Christmas, so he's now binge watching, resulting in me re-watching the last 6 weeks of videos.... Some of it is (even more) hilarious knowing now what you've been through with the storms 😂😂
He's yet to get that far... Little does he know!! 😂
You absolute legends, must have been so scary, poor AJ and summer looked so scared but the way you kept calm., so pleased your all safe ❤
Glad you all safe
I was really worried about you all. So glad you are all safe. I think AJ was trying to find a way out of the complex thinking he would avoid the storm. You were both so calm i think that helped the fur babies?
Or he’s noticed cows in the field across the road, and we all know how much AJ loves cows 🐶🐮😊
Sitting in that van with the rocking and the barn roof flying around would of been quite scary pleased to see you both and your animals are all OK. Well Louise your building done you justice still intact.Well another day passes let the cleaning begin.Stay safe and soldier on.❤😊
Yeah we do try and stay as calm as possible and deal with things one moment at a time. Probably for the cows 🤣
Wow. You two are legends. Glad you're safe.
Can’t believe the bird feeders are still intact, flapping in the wind 😂😂😂…Glad you are all ok..😊Colleen x
😮😮😮Wow!!!😮😮😮 Just WOW!!😮😮 I've been in some storms here where I live in Texas, but dang!!! I'm so happy to see you are both OK, your babies are OK and your property didn't have too much damage. I love the way you help each other. I just found your channel, watched your video and am hooked!! You are in Ireland!!! A place I want to see before I meet my maker. I have ancestors from Ireland. I live your accents!! I will be watching y'all all the time. Thank you!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I so pleased you guys and your fur babies are safe and well everything thing else can be fix ❤️
So glad you are all safe. ❤
So glad that you guys are OK, poor AJ and Summer really needed your hugs that night. I’ve got to say that you have a great attitude about the damage. I would advise reusing the corrugated roof panels, as modern ones are often very thin and much poorer quality.
Yeah I’m glad we could cuddle them to try and make it better
Loved seeing the video, I'm in Donegal and we had a lot of damage too, we also had no electricity for 3 days, which felt like a lifetime! I noticed your poor fur babies were absolutely terrified, I have 8 cats and the one thing they and most animals need in situations like that storm was for them to be able to go UNDER something, they would feel more secure if you had a bed or even a table to sit under, we also have 3 dogs and they just needed a lot of reassurance from us!
That was one wild nite, pleased your all safe 🙏
I am glad to see that you are both okay and the damage can be repaired. Please take care of yourself. Lots of love Gordon .❤
I'm soo happy to see your all safe. ❤
Glad all is well for you and your pets. Scary times. Mother Nature does not negotiate.
I’m a 65 yo Aussie women with diverse interest on RUclips. I love Reno, sheep farming across the world , hiking, camping , animals and mudlarking. Anything Irish is a bonus
I think your videography especially POV is excellent. I love your music also. Your Reno explanations are quick & precise.
Great job….
I love the way you cared for the fur babies during the storm. I would have popped kitty in the wicker chest 😉
Pupster was quite anxious but a lot are during storms. You can try music to deafen out the banging.
Thanks for providing interesting videos 👍✌️
You two just have the BEST attitude to life ❤ I’m in the north of Ireland and I was in a house and that storm was scary, never mind being in a van under a years old rusty barn with half of it wedged up against your van !!! That was intense !! So proud of your positivity, to see damage as a ‘favour’ !!! You two are just the BEST ❤
Thinking of you all, sending hugs and love ❤
I'm so pleased you're all safe. When I was watching the worst in the middle of the night, I was holding my breath, so scary. As you said it can all be put right. The wall of the snug/office is the most scary. It shows how powerful the wind is. Sending you all hugs, especially poor AJ, be safe, with love Sue and Bryn xx
Yeah we was most shocked about that to be fair
Jeez! What a night! Glad you're all okay. Moved by your glass half full thinking and the love between your little family. Honestly, the way you assess situations and get to the heart of the matter is quite something.
Thank you, we always feel we pull more together when things like this happen
Crikey what an horrendous time you've had, it must have been terrifying. I'm guessing the barn will have to come down altogether now. Well done for keeping on smiling and staying positive. Thanks for sharing
Much Love 💕 from SW Florida
Ya’ll are adorbs 🥰 been thru a few cat 3s, the nighttime ones are the worse (hurricane Ian was a monster) but never in cold 🥶 cold temperatures .. brr
great job for your first time, you’re real pros
Things can be replaced and rebuilt; so grateful you were safe and sound ❤❤
Stay Strong 💪🏽 💪🏽 🐕🐈⬛
Well done putting this video out considering the amount of issues you have to sort out. Bravo for the hut build Louise, the worst recorded storm ever and it just took it. Well done. Very proud of both of you. 👏👏. 👋🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🇮🇪
Thank you 😀
A scary watch! Glad you’re all safe and well, although with a lot of damage xx 😢
Don't be to hard on yourself . Look what you can do .!
Glad you are a ok and came through thankyou for sharing your experience.
You could park your van next to cabin sideways less risk of hitting debris and of course less chance of tipping over
Glad you're all ok ❤ our top estimate where I am was 93mph at mid day 😢 There were roofs coming off in the streets all round me. Never have I been so glad to NOT have a flat style roof!
Yeah we bet
I'm so glad that your okay.
Well done you 4, gotta admire your dedication to publishing videos and updating us, amidst carnage! Thanks, I’m sure from the many, for letting us know how you’re doing and allaying our fears, worries, concerns. Yet to watch this one but just wanted to let you know we adore your dynamic and positivity. All the best Andrew Jo Bisc & Bay.
Thanks guys
Glad you and your animals are safe. The roof was ripped off my tenement building in southern Scotland in Storm Eunice a couple of years ago. We are still recovering from that damage. Storms are frightening.
Sooo glad you are all safe. You girls are amazing. The ‘Love Shack ‘ stands 🎉
In the words of the B52s “TIN ROOF RUSTED “
Dear dog! Glad to see you're all alive, if a little battered, bruised, and shaken. Totally not the type of "if the van's a rockin..." to leave you breathless in a good way! Thanks for keeping us all updated! 😊
Oh definitely not, if it’s rocking like that send help 🤣
"Planning your great escape?" I always trust a dog's instincts! I'm so glad you're all safe, watching you bounce around all night was... 💜
