Still nothing much happening here (near Drogheda). A bit windy but nothing abnormal.

Still getting some strong wind here.

isle of man

wind is dieing down here now think the worst has passed

Harps

Still pretty bad here, crazy whenever theres a shower, theyre still torrential and the wind really picks up every time we have one

Didnt expect it to last this long at all, I've seen worse back at home on the west coast but this is easily the worst storm in the past 3 years since I've been living in the town

Blustry evening. Lovely crescent moon, occasional showers here in West Limerick.

Looking forward to the next wind event already

Pangea

Dont care what RTE news says , winds have not eased here in Donegal, Still as bad as ever!!

maquiladora

Well I got no strong winds down here at all from this one. I wasnt expecting any but a surprise severe gust would have been nice...

But its only early november yet, so hopefully we will get another windstorm, tracking further south, something like 1997.

I tink I gone done and OD'd on the nutty chocolatey treats!

Dublin once again is an island of calm..relatively speaking:(
Its being breezy all day some gusts, but apart from scattering the fallen leaves not too much happening.

what happened in 97?

Just in from putting the outside dog to bed...bless her

Wind is still strong, but not as strong. More consistent 'blow' though, and seems less gusty...'roaring' as loudly as ever.

Lights flickering since 8am this morning, but power hasn't once truly gone.

2 trees down today, expected more....perhaps the others will come down during the next storm event instead?

Hooter23

Thought the woman on the news going swimming out salthill was bad until I saw two people on the roof of a house down the Galway docks when the storm was at it's worst really unbelievable

isle of man

ok i spoke to soon.
wind back up, and now have driving rain:p

WolfeIRE

started to die down in the past hour.

7-8pm was when the winds peaked here.

PS... thanks to some of you who contributed to the storm live blog and gallery today.

The Weather Channel just tweeted my website. Must be a slow news day

Its still blowing smoke up here in north west Donegal! Still some strong gusts here, and driving rain.

Must say I enjoyed my day although I was confined to the house somewhat. I believe that about 5 miles up the road, they experienced the worst weather in years and years:rolleyes: so near and yet so far!!

Maybe next time I won't be stuck at home with bad back and can join the "Boards storm chasers" Cheers lads, hope you made it home safe.

Was it not '97? No leccy for christmas day and it took 8 hrs to get from Dublin to Limbo on a bus on Christmas eve.

My garage doors (wooden) came off earlier with the wind. Boo!

Hey does anyone know if the boys (storm chasers) made it home??? Is there postings from them? (had a look but might have missed it)
