Storm Henry footage really shows off Wild Atlantic Way at its wildest

As most of us were taking cover from Storm Henry yesterday, others were out filming the storm battering the country.

As it struck the whole of Ireland's west coast, from the northernmost county of Donegal right down to the kingdom of Kerry in the south, people were out taking footage of the tempest at its height.

Roger Holmes, a 43-year-old blogger from Letterkenny, theparismethod.com, braved the elements at Malin Mor in Co Donegal to video the huge waves hitting the pier and rocks during the storm.

You can just about see the Slieve League cliffs through the mist in the clip.

While staying in the Aras Ghleann Colm Cille hostel, Roger said he travelled with hostel owner Paul to see the storm along with two girls from Catalunya - only to find there five Indian tourists, a couple from Vermont and an Italian riot policeman who comes to Donegal "to get away from it all".

At the other end of the country, WildAtlantic Dingle Peninsula captured Henry in all its glory around Dingle.

Exhilarating!
