Damaging winds Thursday 13:00 onward

Its amazing to see how quickly large, distant clouds are moving.

I can see the clouds form the train of showers through Cork and Waterford chugging along at a rate you'd never usually see.

Our trampoline went for a trip too:P It got hooked on the fence though, and we got most of it back.

So far today It hasn't been too bad relativetly speaking a few mile SE Limerick City. The showers here haven't been that heavy but they are pretty squally with some gale gusts. Don't see any major damage. May post again if anything dramatic happens in my neck of the woods.

It's like the Attack of the Trampolines out there!

Apparently children's trampolines left in gardens are causing mayhem out there today in the wind. I keep hearing reports of them blowing into roads, etc.

Power about to go now in Donegal, on and off for the last few minutes. It seems to be peaking now. The screaming from the wind is eerie. I thought I'd enjoy it but it's worrying. The car is lifting slightly and I've twenty bags of coal on the trampoline which is still shifting slightly.

It has got very bad here now - to the extent that it is very dangerous out there.

Sounds very intense! It'll be another few hours before it starts to ease off up there though.

Theyve flickered a few times here for the first time in a few hours, tv signal just went as well and its definitely picked up again. Still bucketing down as well which isnt doing the flooding any good

The rain is pouring out of the heavens here, pounding against my study window in the gale - it sounds just rotten, but I love being inside listening to the wind roaring and the rain beating against the window - I've just lit the fire as well - it's one of those nights

I'd suspect that it'll be the next wind event that will see more trees down. They've taken a good loosening this time so perhaps next big wind will see a larger share of them up-ended.

Heavy showers and blustery conditions in Galway City. Temp 9.4C but feels considerably cooler due to strong W'ly winds that are still gusting to between 30 - 45 km/h. Despite the frequency of the showers today, only 10.8mm of rain has fallen since midnight. Pressure 977.9hPa and rising.

Galway has escaped the worst effects of the wind compared to the north and north-west, just small twigs and branches down around the city. No flooding in Salthill and the sea is relatively tame.
