I see a couple of power outages in the west already.

Whereabouts? Lights still on here in Galway City. We didn't lose it last time so hopefully not this time either. If that happens I'm definitely going to the pub.

They say winds will reach 40 kph

Still dead calm here Aran islands Inis mor

Some strong pressure behind those gust and long runs of wind.

I hear bins being blown down the road and I've over 40 km/h on my sheltered instruments, this is very much more severe at this time even than I had expected.

And the best is yet to come, better get the black coffee

Can't imagine it getting worse than what is outside now, wind is very strong here now but reading the posts the worst is yet to come.Scary

shotinthedark

Great info but won't make a bit of difference to the wind

Bloody mad here now!!!! Can't believe it's gonna get worse!

SeaFields

In south kerry, finding it hard to hear the telly at times due to the gusts. They really are powerful at the mo, and the flexing in the front room window glass is frightening!

While all this goes on, my Christmas pressie of a new weather station sits in a box in the back room.

Extremely strong gusts in Waterford city now, stronger than anything I've seen before. Rain sheeting down also.

...you were once a "tag along". I would call it enthusiastic interest. Now, back to your "more than one line posts". I'm off back to the aviation forums where we know nothing about weather.

You know Ian do you? Ian is capable of saying in one sentence what ten men might take a novel to say.

And we are all in this together and this is a big one, we need each other.

for anyone with large windows that are flexing, a few long strips of masking tape in a criss cross pattern may help in case they break..
our last house had a flexy window.

Winds here are strong but only the odd gust is severe at the moment, Has been a rapid increase in the last number of hours though, I am well inland which helps.

Very surprised at how windy it is here already. Can't imagine what it'll be like on the southwest coast tonight.
